Description
The Rheem-Ruud 42-105499-01K is a genuine OEM pressure switch engineered as a direct replacement for compatible Rheem and Ruud heating systems. Pressure switches are a critical safety component in gas furnaces and air handlers — they monitor the negative pressure created by the inducer motor to confirm proper venting before allowing the ignition sequence to proceed. If the correct pressure differential is not detected, the switch prevents the burners from firing, protecting against dangerous flue gas backdrafting and incomplete combustion.
