Raypak 008171F Blower Pressure Switch Overview
The Raypak 008171F is an OEM blower pressure switch designed to verify proper airflow and combustion blower operation before allowing burner ignition. This normally open (N/O) switch is set to a trip point of 1.10″ water column (wc), providing precise pressure sensing to protect heating equipment from unsafe operating conditions caused by inadequate or blocked airflow.
Key Features
- Normally Open (N/O) configuration — closes on rising pressure to confirm blower operation
- Set point: 1.10″ water column (wc)
- OEM Raypak replacement part — engineered for direct fit and reliable performance
- Monitors combustion blower/inducer operation to prevent unsafe ignition sequences
- Helps protect heat exchangers and burner components from damage due to insufficient draft
- Compatible with select Raypak pool heaters, boilers, and hydronic heating equipment
How It Works
The blower pressure switch monitors the negative or positive pressure generated by the combustion air blower or draft inducer. When the blower reaches the required operating pressure (1.10″ wc), the normally open contacts close, signaling the control board that safe airflow conditions exist and allowing the ignition sequence to proceed. If pressure drops below the set point during operation, the switch opens and shuts down the burner to prevent unsafe conditions.
Application
- Raypak pool and spa heaters
- Raypak hydronic boilers and water heaters
- Any Raypak equipment requiring OEM pressure switch replacement at 1.10″ wc
