Reznor 96344 Orifice

Maintaining proper fuel-to-air ratios in your Reznor heating system requires precise gas metering. The Reznor 96344 Burner Orifice is a genuine OEM component engineered for Liquid Propane (LP) applications. This 1.65mm brass burner orifice is designed to replace fouled or incorrectly sized orifices in several Reznor unit heaters, ensuring the burner receives the exact BTU input required for high-efficiency combustion. Using original Reznor replacement parts is critical for maintaining the pressure drop characteristics across the manifold, which prevents issues like lifting flames or excessive carbon monoxide production.

When performing a propane conversion or annual maintenance, always verify the orifice size stamped on the side of the 96344. In a Reznor gas-fired heater, a clogged or drilled-out orifice can lead to uneven heat distribution and soot buildup on the heat exchanger. This HVAC burner orifice features a precision-drilled port that guarantees a stable flame pattern for consistent performance in light commercial and industrial heating environments. Professional installation by a licensed technician is recommended to ensure the manifold pressure is adjusted to manufacturer specifications after installation.

Key Benefits:

• Precision-Milled 1.65mm Port: Ensures accurate propane gas flow to the burner for optimized combustion efficiency.
• Durable Brass Construction: High-grade brass resists corrosion and thermal stress, maintaining the integrity of the LP burner orifice over time.
• OEM Compatibility: Specifically engineered as a direct-fit Reznor 96344 replacement part to prevent gas leaks and mechanical mismatches.
• Stabilizes Flame Pattern: Helps eliminate yellow-tipping and burner noise by providing a clean, focused gas stream to the unit heater burner.

Common Questions:

• How do I know if I need a 1.65mm orifice? You must reference the rating plate on your Reznor heater and look for the LP orifice specification for your specific BTU input and altitude.
• Can I clean a clogged Reznor 96344 orifice? While you can use compressed air to clear light debris, never use a drill bit or wire, as this can enlarge the hole and create a hazardous over-firing condition.
• Is this part suitable for natural gas units? No, the 96344 is specifically sized for Liquid Propane (LP). Installing this on a natural gas system will cause extreme under-firing.
