The Bard 1804-0496 Low Pressure Switch Assembly is an OEM safety control used in Bard wall-mount and packaged HVAC equipment to protect the refrigeration circuit when suction pressure drops too low. Rated at 75 PSIG, this switch helps prevent compressor damage and nuisance operation by opening the control circuit under abnormal low-pressure conditions, such as loss of charge, airflow problems, or coil icing. If your unit is short cycling on a low-pressure fault or you have confirmed a failed switch during troubleshooting, replacing it with the correct Bard 1804-0496 ensures proper electrical connection, pressure rating, and fit with the original piping and wiring layout.
