Burnham Boiler 6111715 Assembly

The Burnham Boiler 6111715 Draft Inducer Assembly is a critical combustion component designed to maintain precise static pressure and exhaust flow within high-efficiency hydronic systems. This OEM Burnham blower assembly serves as the direct replacement for 8116142, ensuring seamless mechanical compatibility without the need for mounting modifications. Engineered for durability in high-heat environments, this centrifugal inducer fan facilitates the proper venting of flue gases, preventing the buildup of carbon monoxide and ensuring stable ignition sequences. For contractors performing a Burnham boiler repair, this unit features a heavy-duty motor and balanced impeller to minimize vibration and operational noise. Correct draft inducer replacement is essential for clearing the pressure switch circuit and maintaining the AFUE rating of the appliance. Whether you are troubleshooting a boiler pressure switch error or a failed motor bearing, this assembly provides the exact performance specifications required for industrial and residential series boilers.

Key Benefits for Technicians

• Direct OEM Fit: Drop-in replacement for the 8116142, eliminating field rigging or bracket adjustments.
• Enhanced Static Pressure: Optimized for venting resistance to ensure reliable pressure switch closure.
• Rugged Housing Design: Constructed to withstand sustained flue gas temperatures and corrosive condensate.
• Factory Balanced: Minimizes harmonic resonance and extends the service life of the motor bearings.

Common Questions

How do I verify if this inducer is compatible with my Burnham model?
Always cross-reference the part number located on the original equipment label. This 6111715 assembly is the verified successor to the 8116142 and fits several high-efficiency series units.

Does this assembly include the necessary mounting gasket?
Standard replacement inducer kits usually require a high-temperature silicone or graphite gasket for an airtight seal. It is recommended to replace the gasket during every inducer service to prevent flue gas leakage.

What are the signs that a draft inducer needs replacement?
Typical failure indicators include high-pitched bearing squeals, a failure to bridge the pressure switch contacts, or visible corrosion on the housing that allows secondary air infiltration.
