MODEL 950-1007 AND 950-1032 FAN PROVER KITS

Disconnect power supply to all heating, venting equipment and controls before making wiring connections to prevent electrical
shock and equipment damage.  

REPLACEMENT OF OLD STYLE FAN PROVER SWITCHES PREVIOUSLY MOUNTED ON ELECTRICAL BOX (SEE DIAG. A)

1. Disconnect power supply to all heating equipment and remove old Fan Prover switch 

from HS-3, 4, 5 electrical box.

2. Mount new Fan Prover switch with the diaphragm in a 

vertical

orientation within 2 feet 

of HS-3, 4, 5 electrical box and within 4 feet of the Power Venter for 1/4” aluminum 
tubing connection. 

3. Attach conduit mounting plate with whip assembly to HS-3, 4, 5 electrical box with 2 

provided screws and connect 2 foot whip to new Fan Prover electrical box by using 
provided fittings.

4. Connect the 1/4” aluminum tubing from the Fan Proving Switch to the Power Venter 

housing using existing supplied fittings.  The factory calibrated sensing tube length and 
compression fittings are critical for proper operation of the Fan Proving Switch.  If it is 
necessary to alter the sensing tube length, 

ONLY

trim sensing tube portion that is on 

the exterior of the housing. 

IMPORTANT

:

DO NOT

trim the sensing tube portion that 

will be mounted in the interior of the housing because Fan Prover will not sense the 
proper pressure.  

Sensing tube assembly with factory calibrated length must be 

used for Fan Prover to work properly!

5. Cut female quick connect leads off of wires that were connected to old Fan Prover and

wire nut these wires to the new leads from 2 foot whip connected to new Fan Prover.  
Connect leads in new Prover electrical box.  Prover leads are not polarity sensitive so 
connection order on switch terminals does not matter.

6.  Reestablish power and run heating equipment through a couple of heating cycles to verify proper operation.

REPLACEMENT OF SIMILAR STYLE FAN PROVER SWITCHES WITH THEIR OWN ELECTRICAL BOX (SEE DIAGRAM B)

1. Disconnect power supply to all heating equipment and remove Blue and 

Yellow leads from old Fan Prover switch and motor lead connections in 
old Fan Prover junction box.

2. Mount new Fan Prover in a 

vertical

orientation in the same location as 

old Prover. You can use the old Fan Prover sensing tubing as long 
as it is not damaged or kinked.  If damaged, replace with new tubing.  

3. Connect the 1/4” aluminum tubing from the Fan Proving Switch to the 

Power Venter housing using existing supplied fittings.  The factory calib-

rated sensing tube length and compression fittings are critical for proper 

operation of the Fan Proving Switch.  If it is necessary to alter the sens-

ing tube length, 

ONLY

trim sensing tube portion that is on the exterior of 

the housing. 

IMPORTANT

:

DO NOT

trim the sensing tube portion that 

will be mounted in the interior of the housing because Fan Prover will 

not sense the proper pressure.  

Sensing tube assembly with factory 

calibrated length must be used for Fan Prover to work properly!

4. Connect existing conduit from Venter motor and controls to new Fan 

Prover.

5. Reconnect Blue and Yellow leads removed in step 1 to the new Fan 

Prover switch. Prover switch leads are not polarity sensitive.  Reconnect 

motor leads removed in step 1 in new Fan Prover Junction box. 

6. Reestablish power and run heating equipment through a couple of 

heating cycles to verify proper operation.
