What it is
The Ideal 178163 is an air pressure switch ring from Ideal, catalogued under pressure switches. It is used on Ideal Commercial appliances in the Imax XEL range. The air pressure switch monitors the pressure produced by the fan and confirms to the control board that air is moving through the appliance before ignition is allowed, and this ring forms part of that switch arrangement.
