Bradford White 415-48058-02 Pressure Switch
The Bradford White 415-48058-02 Pressure Switch is a critical safety component engineered for high-altitude applications in specific power-vented gas water heaters. This OEM pressure switch is calibrated to detect proper venting conditions and ensure the inducer motor is moving sufficient combustion air before ignition occurs. Designed for elevations where air density is lower, this 0.30" W.C. pressure switch prevents the burner from firing if the venting system is obstructed or if there is a failure in the draft inducer assembly. This switch serves as a direct replacement for Bradford White RG2PV and MITW series models requiring a high-altitude set point. Contractors should verify the water heater pressure switch part number against the rating plate, as precise millibar increments are vital for maintaining the ANSI Z21.10.1 safety standards and ensuring reliable flue gas venting in thin-air environments.
Key Benefits for Contractors- High-Altitude Calibration: Specifically tuned for reliable operation in elevated regions where standard pressure switches may cause nuisance tripping.
- OEM Precision: Guaranteed compatibility with Bradford White power vent units, ensuring the safety circuit maintains original factory specifications.
- Inducer Protection: Monitors the venting system integrity to prevent hazardous combustion conditions or heat exchanger damage.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the constant cycling of residential and commercial HVACR duty cycles.
What are the symptoms of a failing pressure switch in a power vent water heater?
Common indicators include the inducer motor running continuously without the burner igniting, or the system throwing a specific flash code indicating the pressure switch failed to close or remained open.
Can I use a standard altitude switch at high elevations?
No. Standard switches are calibrated for denser air; using one at high altitude will typically prevent the burner from firing because the inducer cannot generate enough vacuum to trip the 0.45" W.C. or higher sea-level set points.
How do I verify if this switch is the correct replacement?
Check the label on the existing switch for the set point (W.C.) and compare the Bradford White part number to the unit's specific parts list based on the serial number.
