This Honeywell Blue Dot pressure switch (HWC6065A1523) is a direct replacement part for keeping your external gas heating unit running safely and efficiently. When a pressure switch fails, your heater won't fire up, especially on those cold Australian mornings, making this a critical component.
I've seen plenty of these fail over time, often due to weather exposure on outdoor units or general wear and tear, so having a reliable replacement handy is key for quick repairs.
Best For
- HVAC service technicians
- Licensed gas fitters
- Property maintenance teams
- Competent DIY owners replacing faulty pressure switches in gas heating systems
Compatibility
This Blue Dot pressure switch is designed as a direct replacement for specific external gas heating units. It directly replaces Bonaire Part Number 9053905SP and Honeywell Part Number C6065A1523. It's often found in Bonaire, Brivis, and Seeley heating systems, particularly in their external models.
If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

- Specifically designed as a Blue Dot pressure switch for reliable operation.
- Suits external gas heating units, built to handle exposure to varied weather conditions.
- Direct cross-reference for Bonaire PN 9053905SP, simplifying parts lookup and ordering.
- Vulcan Powerhouse branding, indicating robust construction for trade use.
What's in the Box
- One (1) Honeywell Blue Dot Pressure Switch (HWC6065A1523)
Using It on the Job
- Safety First: Isolate power and gas supply to the heating unit before commencing any work. Implement lockout/tagout procedures to prevent accidental re-energisation.
- Access & Confirm: Locate the existing pressure switch, usually near the fan or combustion chamber on external units. Confirm it matches the Blue Dot type and part number (HWC6065A1523, C6065A1523, or 9053905SP) before removal.
- Disconnect & Remove: Carefully disconnect the electrical leads and any pressure sensing tubes from the old switch. Unmount the faulty component, taking note of its orientation and connections.
- Install New Switch: Mount the new Honeywell Blue Dot pressure switch securely in the correct orientation. Reconnect the pressure sensing tubes and electrical wiring, ensuring all connections are tight and correct.
- Test & Commission: Restore gas and power to the unit. Perform thorough functional tests of the heating system, checking for proper ignition and operation across all stages. Monitor for any fault codes or abnormal behaviour.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- Only for use with compatible gas heating systems as a direct replacement. Do not attempt to adapt for other applications.
- Installation and servicing of gas appliances must be performed by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 and local regulations.
- Always ensure power and gas supplies are completely isolated before handling any electrical or gas components.
- This switch is specifically for gas heating applications and is not designed for use in refrigerant circuits or high-pressure HVAC/R systems.
When replacing pressure switches on external units, always check the condition of the rubber sensing tubes. Cracks or blockages can cause nuisance tripping, making you think the switch is bad when it's really just the tube. Give them a good clean or replace if they look dodgy.
Pair With
Pair with digital manometers for accurate pressure readings and a good quality multimetre for diagnosing electrical faults in your gas heating system. Consider checking other common gas heater spares like ignitors or flame sensors at the same time to prevent future call-backs.
