It monitors the negative pressure (draft) created by the inducer motor to confirm proper venting before allowing the system to proceed with ignition. If the correct pressure is not detected, the switch prevents the furnace from operating, protecting against unsafe conditions such as blocked flues or inducer motor failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003egenuine Rheem OEM replacement part\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring proper fit and performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlways verify your existing part number before ordering to confirm compatibility with your specific unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstallation should be performed by a \u003cstrong\u003equalified HVAC technician\u003c\/strong\u003e in accordance with local codes and regulations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0\" \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0\" \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0\" \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Rheem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51514243612978,"sku":"42-24196-85","price":79.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/malachypartsplus.com\/products\/rheem-42-24196-85-pressure-switch-kit-spst-0-60wc","provider":"Malachy Parts+","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
