When the inducer (draft) motor starts, it creates negative pressure that this switch senses through its tubing; only when adequate draft is confirmed does the switch close and allow the control board to energize the igniter and open the gas valve. This prevents the burners from firing without proper venting — a critical safety function. A stuck-open switch, blocked tubing, or a weak diaphragm will keep the furnace from igniting, while a stuck-closed switch defeats the safety interlock entirely. Replacing it with the correct OEM switch restores safe, reliable ignition sequencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1178417\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir Pressure Switch with Tubing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP \/ Tempstar \/ Heil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCombustion draft proving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas furnace \/ package unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as the factory draft-switch replacement for the ICP WPG4304040RKA1 packaged gas unit and shared across comparable ICP, Tempstar, Heil, and Comfortmaker models.
