Honeywell C6097A3012 1-20 Inch Break on Fall Manual Reset 1/4 Inch

The Honeywell C6097A3012 pressure switch is a safety device designed to protect HVAC equipment, like furnaces and air conditioners, from damage caused by a loss of airflow. It's essentially a 1-20 inch pressure switch with a 1/4 inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) connection. Installed directly into the ductwork, it uses a flapper mechanism to monitor airflow. If airflow falls below a preset level, the flapper closes, interrupting the electrical circuit and stopping the HVAC system. This prevents potential overheating and damage to the equipment. Once airflow is restored, the switch can be manually reset to resume normal operation. Typically used in residential and commercial HVAC systems, the C6097A3012 is a crucial safety component that rely on proper airflow for safe and efficient operation.
