Description
Bradford White 415-48058-02 High Altitude Pressure Switch Overview
The Bradford White 415-48058-02 is a genuine OEM high altitude pressure switch engineered specifically for Bradford White water heaters and heating appliances operating at elevated installations. This pressure switch monitors flue gas pressure to verify proper venting and draft inducer operation, helping protect the unit from unsafe combustion conditions that can arise at higher altitudes where air density is reduced.
Key Features
- Genuine Bradford White OEM replacement part — ensures exact fit and function
- Designed for high altitude applications where standard pressure switches may not perform reliably
- Monitors draft inducer pressure to confirm safe venting conditions before allowing burner operation
- Helps prevent unsafe combustion by shutting down the burner if proper pressure is not established
- Direct drop-in replacement for compatible Bradford White models — no modification required
- Built to meet the performance demands of residential and light commercial water heating equipment
Why High Altitude Pressure Switches Matter
At higher elevations, reduced atmospheric pressure affects combustion air density and draft inducer performance. A standard pressure switch calibrated for sea-level operation may fail to open or close at the correct differential, leading to nuisance lockouts or, more critically, unsafe burner operation. The Bradford White 415-48058-02 is factory-calibrated for high altitude conditions, ensuring the pressure sensing setpoints are appropriate for the reduced air pressure environment.
Application
- Replacement pressure switch for Bradford White water heaters and heating appliances
