Bradford White 415-45867-02 Pressure Switch Overview
The Bradford White 415-45867-02 is an OEM replacement pressure switch designed to deliver precise, dependable performance in Bradford White water heater applications. With a normally open (N/O) configuration and a setpoint rating of 1.25″ water column (WC), this switch monitors combustion air pressure to verify proper draft inducer operation before allowing the burner to fire — a critical safety function in modern gas water heaters.
Key Features
- OEM Bradford White replacement part — SKU 415-45867-02
- Normally open (N/O) switching configuration
- 1.25″ WC (water column) pressure setpoint
- Monitors draft inducer/combustion air pressure for safe burner operation

How It Works
The pressure switch senses the negative pressure (draft) created by the inducer blower during operation. In its normally open state, the switch closes only when the correct pressure differential is achieved, confirming adequate airflow before the gas valve is allowed to open. If the inducer fails or venting is obstructed, the switch remains open and prevents ignition — protecting the appliance and the occupants.
Application
- Designed for use in Bradford White residential and light commercial gas water heaters
- Ideal replacement for worn, failed, or out-of-spec pressure switches
- Consult your equipment model documentation or Bradford White technical support to confirm compatibility before installation
Why Choose OEM Parts?
Using genuine Bradford White OEM components like the 415-45867-02 ensures proper fit, accurate pressure calibration, and continued compliance with the original equipment’s safety and performance specifications. Aftermarket substitutes may not match the exact setpoint or electrical ratings required by your unit.
