Bradford White 415-45460-00 Pressure Switch
The Bradford White 415-45460-00 Pressure Switch is a critical safety component designed for precise atmospheric monitoring in high-efficiency power-vented water heaters. Calibrated to a 0.75" WC set point, this SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switch ensures the blower motor is moving sufficient air for combustion before allowing the ignition sequence to proceed. It serves as a direct OEM replacement for several Bradford White RG2PV and MITW series models. As an HVAC pressure switch, it monitors the negative pressure created by the inducer fan, preventing the unit from operating under dangerous flue blockages or venting restrictions. Professionals should verify the water heater pressure switch rating against the data plate to ensure consistent burner performance and prevent pressure switch lockout codes. This component features robust sensing diaphragm construction and standard terminal connections for rapid field installation, maintaining the pressure differential integrity required for venting system safety.
- Precise Calibration: Factory-set at 0.75" WC to ensure exact combustion air verification.
- OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement part for Bradford White 415-45460-00 to maintain UL listing and system safety.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the high-temperature environment of power-vented water heaters without drift.
- Simplified Diagnostics: Standard SPST switch logic allows for quick multimeter continuity testing during troubleshooting.
Common Questions
How do I know if my Bradford White pressure switch is failing? If the inducer motor runs but the burner fails to ignite, often throwing a specific blink code on the Honeywell controller, the 415-45460-00 may not be closing due to a ruptured diaphragm or clogged sensing tube.
Can I use a universal pressure switch instead of this model? It is not recommended. The 0.75" WC set point is specific to the blower's CFM and the heat exchanger's static pressure; using a different rating can lead to incomplete combustion or frequent nuisance trips.
What causes a 0.75" WC switch to stay open? Common causes include a restricted vent pipe, a failing inducer motor, or moisture buildup in the vacuum tubing, which prevents the Bradford White 415-45460-00 from reaching its trip point.
