🔥 Honeywell C6097B3028 Pressure Switch – 1–20 in WC, Break-on-Rise, Manual Reset, 1/4" NPT

The Honeywell C6097B3028 Pressure Switch is a diaphragm-actuated safety-limit switch designed to protect natural gas, liquid propane (LP) gas, and air systems. With its break-on-rise functionality, this switch opens the control circuit when pressure exceeds the setpoint, providing reliable safety protection.

Equipped with manual reset lockout, the switch ensures the system cannot restart until the pressure fault is corrected. The removable transparent cover protects the scale plate and adjusting knob for easy monitoring and adjustment. Rated IP65 and suitable for temperatures from -40°F to 140°F, the C6097B3028 is ideal for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
