Description
The Utica-Dunkirk 240013045 is a Single-Pole Single-Throw (SPST) pressure switch calibrated to a 0.4″ water column (WC) set point. Designed as a genuine OEM replacement component for compatible Utica-Dunkirk boiler systems, this pressure switch plays a critical role in monitoring combustion air pressure and ensuring safe, efficient burner operation. When the required draft pressure is not achieved — such as during a blocked flue or inducer failure — the switch interrupts the control circuit, preventing unsafe ignition and protecting both equipment and occupants.
Key Features
- Genuine Utica-Dunkirk OEM replacement pressure switch
- SPST (Single-Pole Single-Throw) switching configuration
- Calibrated set point: 0.4″ WC (water column)
- Monitors combustion air/draft pressure for safe burner operation

Why Pressure Switches Matter
Pressure switches are a key safety component in modern induced-draft and condensing boilers. The switch verifies that the draft inducer motor is operating correctly and that proper airflow is present before allowing ignition to proceed. A faulty or out-of-calibration pressure switch can cause nuisance lockouts or, more critically, allow unsafe operation — making timely replacement with the correct OEM part essential.
