The Heil Quaker ICP 1005606 Pressure Tap is a critical OEM replacement part designed for precision monitoring within International Comfort Products (ICP) heating systems. This high-grade HVAC pressure tap serves as the primary interface between the furnace's plastic transition box or exhaust blower and the induction pressure switch. By facilitating an accurate pneumatic signal via a 5/16-inch OD rubber hose, this component ensures the furnace draft inducer is generating sufficient static pressure to safely vent combustion gases. Veteran technicians recognize this part as essential for resolving pressure switch stuck open codes and maintaining the safety limit string integrity. Built to original factory specifications, the ICP 1005606 guarantees a leak-free seal and proper barb fitment, preventing the nuisance trips and ignition failures common with generic or degraded plastic fittings in high-efficiency condensing furnaces. Key Benefits: Direct OEM Compatibility: Verified fit for specific Heil, Quaker, and Tempstar furnace models, including the NDC7 and NUGS series. System Safety Integration: Critical for providing the pressure differential data required to close the centrifugal switch and initiate the ignition sequence. Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand the thermal cycling and corrosive condensate environment found in 90% AFUE furnaces. Precise Pneumatic Signaling: Maintains exact internal diameters to ensure the manostat receives an unhampered signal for reliable operation. Common Questions: How do I know if the pressure tap or the switch is failing? Inspect the 1005606 tap for cracks, clogs, or moisture buildup. If the inducer is running but the switch isn't closing, use a manometer to verify the pressure at this tap before replacing the switch. Is this part compatible with non-condensing units? While primarily used on condensing furnace transition boxes, this tap is used across various ICP heating cooling platforms. Always verify the specific HVAC part number against your unit's rating plate. What size tubing is required for this pressure tap? Standard installations utilize 5/16" OD rubber tubing. Ensure a tight, secure fit to maintain the vacuum/pressure signal required for the inducer assembly.
