Racor RK-12870 12V Water Detection Kit

Racor RK-12870 is a 12V DC under-dash water-detection kit for compatible Racor diesel fuel filter/water separators. Its warning light and buzzer alert the operator when water reaches the probe. Racor technical reference.

Key Features

  • 12V DC detection module
  • Under-dash light and audible buzzer
  • Includes RK21069 water-in-fuel probe
  • Alarm resets after collected water is drained
  • Manufacturer part number: RK-12870

Product Compatibility

Confirm the separator bowl has the correct probe port and that the electrical system is 12V. Select the detector and probe as a matched Racor system.

When This Part Needs Replacement

Service the system if the alarm fails its prescribed test, wiring is damaged or the probe leaks. A water warning calls for draining and checking the fuel, not simply replacing the detector.

Installation Notes

Follow the kit wiring diagram and isolate electrical power during installation. Drain water into a suitable container and inspect the probe seal. Do not wire the probe directly to supply voltage.

Parts Desk Insight

This is the complete 12V warning kit, while RK21069 by itself is only the sensing probe. If adding an alarm to a filter that has none, confirm both the bowl connection and detector wiring before choosing parts.
