Burnham Boiler 106066-01 Temp Sensor

The Burnham Boiler 106066-01 Temp Sensor is a critical diagnostic and safety component engineered specifically for Alpine high-efficiency condensing boilers. As a veteran-grade flue gas temperature sensor, this unit provides real-time thermal feedback to the boiler control board, allowing the system to modulate firing rates and maintain peak combustion efficiency. This part serves as the official replacement for part 101687-01, featuring an updated design that ensures more reliable resistance-to-temperature correlation in high-cycle environments. When exhaust temperatures exceed safety thresholds, this NTC thermistor triggers a safety shutdown to protect the heat exchanger and venting materials from thermal stress. For contractors, installing this OEM Burnham sensor ensures 100% compatibility with the existing wiring harness and the Sage2.1 control system, eliminating the troubleshooting headaches often caused by generic aftermarket alternatives. Keeping a replacement flue sensor on the truck is best practice for servicing Alpine units to prevent downtime during peak heating seasons.

Key Benefits

• Direct OEM Replacement: Engineered as the updated version for the obsolete 101687-01 sensor, ensuring seamless mechanical and electrical fit.
• System Protection: Precisely monitors exhaust gas temperatures to prevent damage to expensive heat exchangers and PVC/polypropylene venting.
• Efficiency Optimization: Provides the accurate data required for the boiler to maintain its AFUE rating through precise modulation.
• Easy Retrofit: Includes the necessary cap and mounting interface for a quick "plug-and-play" installation in the flue collector.

Common Questions

Will this sensor work on different Burnham models?
This specific flue temp sensor is designed for the Burnham Alpine series. Always verify your boiler's Series number and MBH input before installation to ensure the control board’s ohm-curve matches the sensor output.

What are the symptoms of a failing 106066-01 sensor?
A faulty sensor typically triggers a "Flue Sensor Open" or "Flue Sensor Shorted" lockout on the display. Inconsistent readings can also cause the boiler to cycle frequently or fail to reach high-fire modulation.

Is the cap included with the sensor?
Yes, the 106066-01 is a combined sensor and cap assembly, simplifying the replacement process for technicians in the field.
