OEM Carrier Pressure Switch for PG8DAA048115ACJA Gas Furnace

The pressure switch on your Carrier PG8DAA048115ACJA is a safety interlock that proves the draft inducer is actually moving combustion air before the furnace will light. When the inducer starts, it pulls a vacuum that closes the switch contacts; only then does the control board energize the igniter and gas valve. If the switch never closes — or opens mid-cycle — the furnace will short-cycle or refuse to start, and you'll typically see the inducer run continuously without ignition, often paired with a 'pressure switch open' fault flashed on the board. A cracked hose, blocked condensate trap, or weak switch diaphragm all read the same way. This is the genuine OEM negative-pressure switch matched to the inducer airflow of this furnace, with the correct trip setpoint stamped on the body (measured in inches of water column, e.g. -0.50" w.c.). That setpoint is critical: it is calibrated to the exact draft this cabinet produces. Why OEM matters: a generic switch with the wrong setpoint either trips too early (nuisance lockouts on a perfectly healthy furnace) or too late (it can allow the burners to fire without adequate draft — a real safety hazard). OEM calibration keeps the proof-of-draft honest. Install difficulty: 2 of 5. Tools: a 1/4" or 5/16" nut driver, and a manometer or multimeter to verify continuity. SAFETY: kill power at the breaker before disconnecting the switch, and inspect the rubber pressure hose and condensate trap while you're in there — a clogged trap is the most common reason a good switch reads as failed. Reconnect the hose to the correct port. Ships same business day from our stocked warehouse on orders placed before 3 PM CST.
