The genuine OEM Lennox 26W42 pressure switch is a draft-proving safety device for Lennox gas furnaces. It measures the vacuum produced by the inducer blower and closes its electrical contacts only when proper combustion airflow is confirmed. This signal allows the furnace control board to safely energize the igniter and gas valve, guarding against blocked flues and hazardous flue-gas spillage.

Symptoms of a bad 26W42 include a furnace that starts the inducer but never lights, ignition that begins then immediately shuts down, repeated pressure-switch lockout codes, or a complete loss of heat. Cracked or disconnected tubing, moisture in the pressure line, and fatigued internal contacts commonly prevent the switch from closing on a proven draft.

OEM is the right choice because the 26W42 is calibrated to the specific pressure set point your Lennox furnace was engineered around. An off-spec aftermarket switch can cause nuisance shutdowns or fail to detect a genuine venting fault. Installing the correct factory Lennox part ensures an exact fit, the proper trip pressure, and safe, trouble-free furnace operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Pressure Switch fit my Lennox OEM Lennox Pressure Switch — 26W42?

My furnace shows a pressure switch error. What do I replace?

Is this pressure switch compatible with Bryant or Payne too?

The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Lennox pressure switch?
OEM recommended for reliability and warranty compatibility. OEM parts match exact factory specifications for proper fit, performance, and safety. While aftermarket alternatives cost less upfront, the risk of improper fit and reduced lifespan usually makes OEM the better value long-term.
