BURNHAM NEW YORKER 8116323 Vent Damper

The Burnham New Yorker 8116323 Vent Damper is a critical 6-inch automatic vent damper designed to optimize thermal efficiency in gas-fired atmospheric boilers. This electromechanical flue damper functions by sealing the vent during off-cycles, preventing standby heat loss and ensuring that residual heat remains within the heat exchanger. Engineered for high-temperature resilience, the 8116323 features a robust internal motor drive and a Molex plug connection for seamless integration with existing boiler control harnesses. It serves as a direct replacement component for specific New Yorker and Burnham series boilers, ensuring consistent draft control and system safety. By preventing the infiltration of cold air through the chimney, this damper reduces peak combustion cycles, minimizing mechanical wear on the burner assembly. This is a precision HVAC replacement part built to withstand the rigors of continuous thermal cycling while maintaining reliable flue gas regulation and building pressure stability.

• Optimized Energy Efficiency: Dramatically reduces heat migration up the chimney during standby periods.
• Direct Fit OEM Component: Features the standard 6-inch diameter and electrical interface for fast service calls.
• Durable Construction: High-grade stainless steel or aluminum housing to resist flue gas corrosion and heat stress.
• Safety Interlock: Prevents the burner from firing until the damper blade has reached the fully open position.

Common Questions

How do I troubleshoot a 6" vent damper that won’t open?
Verify the 24V signal at the wiring harness. Ensure the blade is free of obstructions and the end switch is engaging. If the motor hums but the blade remains stationary, the drive assembly may require replacement.

Is the 8116323 compatible with all 6-inch gas flues?
This specific model is designed for compatibility with Burnham and New Yorker boiler control systems. Always match the Pin-out configuration of the Molex connector to ensure safe operation.

Can I manually override the damper blade?
Manual operation should only be used for testing. The system must remain in automatic mode to ensure the damper opens before combustion to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
