The Lennox 14T65 Combustion Air Pressure Switch Kit is a safety device crucial for gas-fired furnaces. It acts as a guardian by monitoring the air pressure within the furnace's combustion chamber. By maintaining proper air pressure, the combustion process functions efficiently and safely. If the air pressure falls below a safe limit, the switch triggers a shutdown of the furnace. This safety measure prevents hazards like improper combustion or flue gas backdraft, which could lead to carbon monoxide leaks or fires. The Lennox 14T65 Combustion Air Pressure Switch Kit is a single unit (measuring around 0.6lbs) and features a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) Normally Open (N.O.) electrical contact configuration. This design makes it relatively lightweight and straightforward to install and maintain within compatible HVAC systems.

Product Description:  The 14T65 High Altitude Pressure Switch Kit is an essential safety component in furnace systems. Its primary function is to ensure that there is adequate airflow for combustion and venting, preventing potentially dangerous situations. The primary feature of a combustion air pressure switch is safety. It helps to ensure that there is sufficient air for combustion, preventing issues like incomplete combustion or back drafting, which could lead to the release of harmful gases, including carbon monoxide. The switch is designed to sense the pressure within the combustion or venting system. It typically operates based on a specific pressure threshold that, when not met, triggers a safety shutdown of the furnace. The combustion air pressure switches have an adjustable setpoint. This allows HVAC technicians to fine-tune the switch's activation point, ensuring it aligns with the specific requirements of the furnace and its venting system. The pressure switch is designed to be compatible with various HVAC furnace models. This versatility ensures it can be used in a wide range of heating systems.  In the event of a switch failure, many pressure switches incorporate a fail-safe mechanism to ensure that the furnace system shuts down, minimizing the risk of unsafe operation. These switches are capable of detecting both high and low pressures. This is important for detecting abnormal conditions in the combustion and venting system. The 14T65 High Altitude Pressure Switch Kit is generally designed for easy installation. They have standard mounting and wiring configurations, making replacement or installation straightforward. 

Key characteristics of the combustion air pressure switches for furnaces are:

  • Monitors combustion system pressure.
  • Allows for fine-tuning of activation threshold.
  • Shuts down the system in case of switch failure.
  • Ensures adequate airflow for safe combustion.

The combustion air pressure switch in an HVAC furnace system is a critical safety device designed to ensure proper airflow for combustion and venting. Its features include pressure sensing, adjustable setpoints, diagnostic indicators, compatibility, durability, fail-safe mechanisms, and safety certifications. These features collectively contribute to the safe and efficient operation of the furnace while minimizing the risk of dangerous situations.
