Nordyne 1018498 Hose Kit
The Nordyne 1018498 High Altitude Pressure Switch Hose Kit is a critical OEM component designed for Nordyne furnace high altitude conversion. When operating HVAC equipment at elevations exceeding 5,000 feet, the decrease in atmospheric density can lead to insufficient negative pressure, causing frequent nuisance lockouts or cycling of the induced draft blower. This kit features a pressure switch hose with diverter specifically engineered for Nordyne MG1E series furnaces and related forced-air systems. By utilizing this HVAC pressure switch tubing, technicians ensure a secure, airtight pneumatic connection between the pressure switch and the refrigerant or combustion lines. Replacing standard hoses with this specialized high-altitude variant is essential to maintain proper pressure switch set points and prevent burner safety system failures. This genuine Nordyne replacement part ensures the unit meets the specific manifold pressure requirements and burner orifice adjustments necessary for thin-air performance, maintaining reliable combustion and system safety in demanding geographical environments.
Key Benefits- Ensures accurate pneumatic signaling to the pressure switch in low-density atmospheric conditions.
- Custom-fit for Nordyne MG1E and high altitude furnace kits, reducing installation time and leak risks.
- Prevents nuisance trips and "open pressure switch" error codes at elevations above 5,000 feet.
- Includes a hose diverter to maintain consistent airflow and prevent moisture accumulation in the sensing lines.
- Constructed from heavy-duty, heat-resistant materials to withstand the rigors of a localized heat exchanger environment.
When is a high altitude hose kit necessary?
According to the National Fuel Gas Code, most standard equipment is rated for up to 2,000 or 5,000 feet. For installations above these thresholds, a high altitude conversion kit, including specialized hoses and switches, is required to compensate for thinner air and ensure the induced draft motor creates sufficient vacuum for safe ignition.
Will this kit fix a "Pressure Switch Stuck Open" code?
If the code is caused by a cracked or collapsed sensing line—common in older high-altitude installs—this kit will resolve the issue. If the switch itself has failed or the venting is blocked, further diagnostics are needed, though replacing the hose assembly is a standard preventative maintenance step during altitude derating.
Is this hose compatible with other furnace brands?
While designed as an OEM part for Nordyne, Intertherm, and Miller MG1E models, compatibility depends on the diverter size and hose diameter. We recommend using genuine Nordyne 1018498 components only for the specified model series to ensure safety and performance standards are met.
