This Lochinvar Pressure Switch is a mechanical device designed to monitor the pressure within a system and respond accordingly. It operates at a set pressure of 2.5" water column (WC), which is a unit of pressure measurement. The switch is activated when the pressure in the system reaches this predetermined level, either initiating or interrupting an electrical circuit as required. This functionality allows it to play a crucial role in maintaining the safe and efficient operation of various systems, such as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems or gas-powered appliances. The product is manufactured by Lochinvar, a company known for its high-quality heating products and equipment.
