The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100166234 is a robust 1.15" WC SPDT pressure switch designed for critical monitoring in high-efficiency heating systems. As a direct OEM replacement part, it is identical to PRS30014 and PRS2424, ensuring seamless integration without field modifications. This diaphragm-actuated switch utilizes a Single-Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) contact configuration, allowing it to function as a safety interlock by verifying proper venting and combustion air pressure. It is compatible with a wide range of Lochinvar Copper-Fin II models, including 501, 651, and 751, as well as various A.O. Smith water heaters.

For technicians in the field, this low air pressure switch is the standard for maintaining HVAC system safety and operational uptime. It is rated for 1.15 inches of water column and serves as a critical boiler pressure switch to prevent ignition under unsafe draft conditions. The kit comes with the necessary hardware for a secure HVAC part installation, providing the reliability required in commercial and residential gas valve assemblies. When troubleshooting codes related to pressure differentials, utilizing a genuine 100166234 pressure switch ensures the system operates within manufacturer specifications.
