SKU: 19950
$115.00
The Bonaire Vulcan Gas Heater Pressure Switch 110Pa (Part Number: 5001205SP) is an important component for ensuring the safe operation of your gas heater. The pressure switch is a safety feature that monitors the airflow and gas pressure inside the system. It helps detect any potential issues, such as a blockage or insufficient airflow, which could lead to unsafe conditions. If the pressure switch detects abnormal pressure levels, it will shut down the system to prevent further damage or risk.
Function:
The pressure switch monitors the air pressure within the heating system, particularly the flue gas pressure. It ensures that the fan is operating correctly and that the gas burner is receiving the proper airflow and pressure for safe combustion.
Safety Role:
If there is an issue, such as insufficient airflow or blockage in the exhaust system, the pressure switch will trigger the heater to shut down, preventing hazardous conditions like gas build-up or overheating.
Rated Pressure:
The 110Pa rating indicates the specific pressure at which the switch is calibrated to function. This pressure level is critical for ensuring proper burner performance and safety.
Location:
The pressure switch is typically installed in the air or gas flow path of the heater, close to the burner and fan motor.
Blocked Ventilation: If there is any blockage or restriction in the flue or ventilation system, the pressure switch may trigger a fault. Common causes of this issue include debris, dirt, or damaged vent pipes.
Failed Pressure Switch: The pressure switch itself may fail over time, due to wear or corrosion, resulting in false shutoffs or failure to detect low airflow.
Incorrect Pressure Levels: If the system experiences incorrect gas pressure or airflow due to a malfunctioning fan motor or dirty air filter, the pressure switch will activate to shut the heater down.

Teflon tape (for sealing gas connections if necessary)
Turn Off the Heater, Gas, and Power:
Ensure that both gas supply and power are completely turned off before you begin replacing the pressure switch.
Access the Pressure Switch:
Open the heater access panel using the screwdriver. You may need to remove some components or panels to reach the pressure switch, which is typically located near the burner assembly and fan.
Locate the Old Pressure Switch:
Identify the pressure switch (part number 5001205SP) connected to the gas or air pressure line. It is typically mounted with screws or clips.
Disconnect the Wiring:
Before removing the pressure switch, disconnect the wiring. Take note of the wire connections, or use a camera to document them for proper reconnection on the new switch.
Remove the Old Pressure Switch:
Use a screwdriver or wrench to carefully remove the pressure switch. Make sure not to damage the surrounding components or piping during the removal process.
Install the New Pressure Switch:
Place the new pressure switch (PN: 5001205SP) into the same position as the old one. Secure it with screws or clips.
Reconnect the Wiring:
Reconnect the wiring to the new pressure switch, making sure the connections are tight and correct. Refer to your photos or labels to ensure accurate reconnection.
Check for Gas Leaks (if applicable):
If the pressure switch is connected to gas lines, check for any gas leaks using a soapy water solution or gas leak detector. Tighten any connections if necessary.
Reassemble the Heater:
Once the new pressure switch is installed and the wiring is connected, reassemble the heater by replacing any panels or components you removed earlier.
Turn On Gas and Power:
Turn on the gas supply and power to the heater. Test the system to ensure that it is working correctly, and the pressure switch is properly regulating airflow.
Test the Heater:
Verify that the heater ignites correctly and operates without triggering any error codes related to the pressure switch.
If you are experiencing issues after replacing the pressure switch, here are some common troubleshooting steps:
Possible Causes:
The pressure switch may not be connected properly.
The fan motor may be malfunctioning, resulting in insufficient airflow.
There may be a blockage in the vent or flue system.
Solution:
Double-check the wiring to ensure it is connected properly to the pressure switch.
Verify that the fan motor is working correctly and that air is flowing freely.
Inspect the ventilation system for any blockages or restrictions.
Possible Causes:
Faulty pressure switch.
A ventilation issue causing low airflow.
Incorrect gas pressure.
Solution:
Check for any error codes displayed by the heater, which can help you pinpoint the exact issue.
Clean or replace the pressure switch if it is defective.
Inspect the vent system for blockages and ensure that the gas pressure is correct.
Possible Causes:
A faulty pressure switch is triggering an automatic shutdown.
Fan motor malfunction or insufficient airflow.
Flue blockage.
Solution:
Test the pressure switch with a multimeter to check for continuity when the heater is operating.
Inspect the fan motor and ensure it is running at the correct speed.
Clear any debris from the flue or ventilation system.
To ensure your Bonaire Vulcan Gas Heater runs efficiently, consider these maintenance tips:
Inspect the Pressure Switch Regularly: Over time, pressure switches can become clogged or corroded. Regularly check the pressure switch and the surrounding components for signs of wear or damage.
Clean the Ventilation System: Periodically inspect and clean the flue and ventilation pipes to prevent blockages that could affect airflow and trigger the pressure switch.
Check the Fan Motor: Ensure that the fan motor is functioning correctly, as inadequate airflow can lead to pressure switch activation.
Test the Heater: Run the heater seasonally to ensure all components are functioning, including the pressure switch, fan, and ignition system.
