Rheem-Ruud SP20732 Pressure Switch
The Rheem-Ruud SP20732 Pressure Switch is a critical OEM replacement part designed for precision monitoring in HVAC induction systems and water heater gas valves. Engineered with a single pole single throw (SPST) electrical configuration, this component ensures the draft inducer motor generates sufficient negative pressure before allowing the ignition sequence to proceed. It functions as a primary safety interlock, preventing gas release if venting obstructions or flue blockages are detected. Built for high-reliability in residential and light commercial units, the SP20732 operates within a standard 24V control circuit, though it is rated for up to 240V compatibility in specific terminal setups. For field technicians, this ensures consistent combustion stability and system protection against short-cycling. Replacing a worn diaphragm or sticking contacts with this genuine Service Parts pressure switch restores factory-spec airflow verification, maintaining the efficiency and safety of compatible Rheem and Ruud air handlers or furnaces.
Key Benefits- Ensures accurate draft inducer pressure sensing to prevent dangerous gas accumulation during ignition failures.
- Features a heavy-duty diaphragm designed to withstand the thermal cycling associated with frequent furnace operation.
- Direct OEM fit reduces installation time by providing exact mounting alignment and terminal spacing for 3/16-inch or 1/4-inch connectors.
- Optimizes burner combustion efficiency by verifying proper venting and airflow before the control board initiates the flame.
- Highly compatible HVAC service part that replaces legacy pressure switch models like AP16577.
How do I troubleshoot a furnace pressure switch that won't close?
Confirm that the inducer motor is reaching full RPM and check the vacuum tubing for cracks, clogs, or moisture. If the multimeter shows no continuity across the terminals while the motor is running, the switch is likely faulty.
What are the symptoms of a failing SP20732 Pressure Switch?
The most common signs are the igniter not glowing, the control board throwing a pressure switch lockout code, or the furnace short-cycling immediately after the inducer starts but before the burners light.
Why is my pressure switch sticking in the closed position?
This usually indicates internal contact welding or a ruptured diaphragm. A switch that is "stuck closed" is a safety hazard, as it bypasses the airflow verification check; it must be replaced immediately to ensure proper forced draft safety.
