This pressure-sensing switch verifies that the blower motor is operating and producing adequate airflow before allowing the ignition sequence to proceed. It functions as a safety interlock within the control circuit, preventing ignition in the absence of confirmed airflow. Licensed HVAC technicians and water heater service professionals install this part during routine maintenance or when a system is lockout-faulting due to a failed or out-of-spec prover switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlower prover switches are installed in residential and light commercial gas-fired appliances equipped with powered-venting or induced-draft systems. This switch is appropriate for service calls where the existing switch has failed open, failed closed, or where the diaphragm has deteriorated and no longer responds accurately to the pressure differential generated by the blower. Verify the pressure rating and port configuration of the original switch before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctions as a safety interlock to confirm blower airflow before ignition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement design for serviceability without system modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure-differential sensing mechanism for reliable draft verification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with induced-draft and powered-vent appliance configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement blower prover switch for AO SMITH gas-fired water heaters and appliances equipped with induced-draft blower assemblies.

Shut off gas supply and disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service work. Inspect the rubber tubing connecting the switch to the blower housing for cracks or blockages, as a damaged hose can cause the new switch to fault immediately after installation. Follow all applicable local codes and the appliance manufacturer service documentation during replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Replacement Part\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AO SMITH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100113144\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAILWIND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51150372733234,"sku":"100113144","price":75.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305989891.jpg?v=1778610383","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ao-smith-100113144-blower-prover-switch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
