Burnham Boiler 80160265 Relay

The Burnham Boiler 80160265 Relay is a critical OEM replacement part designed for precision electrical switching within hydronic heating systems. This 24V DPST NO relay (Double Pole Single Throw, Normally Open) serves as a heavy-duty interface for managing high-current loads from low-voltage thermostats or primary controllers. Built to Burnham genuine parts specifications, it features a rugged 1/2 inch conduit connection, ensuring a secure and code-compliant installation into standard junction boxes. This switching relay is essential for maintaining the sequence of operation in residential and commercial boilers, providing isolated control for circulator pumps or blowers. When troubleshooting Burnham boiler electrical issues, replacing a pitted or sticking relay with this factory-verified 80160265 model ensures long-term reliability and restores the intended factory wiring logic for optimal system performance.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Ensures a perfect fit and correct electrical characteristics for specified Burnham boiler models.
• DPST NO Configuration: Features Double Pole Single Throw contacts that remain open until the 24V coil is energized, allow for simultaneous control of two separate circuits.
• Integrated Conduit Mount: The 1/2" conduit fitting simplifies mounting and protects wire terminations from environmental stress.
• Industrial Build Quality: Constructed to withstand the high-temperature environments typical of boiler cabinets.

Common Questions:

Can I use this relay to replace a SPST model?
While a DPST relay can often function in place of a SPST by using only one set of poles, you must verify the footprint and coil voltage to ensure it fits the application and mounting location.

What does the "Normally Open" (NO) designation mean?
It indicates that the circuit is disconnected (open) by default. The contacts only close and provide power to the load when the 24-volt signal is applied to the relay coil.

Is the 1/2" conduit connection removable?
The conduit nipple is typically part of the relay's base housing to provide a rigid, secure mount to the boiler's electrical knockouts.
