Burnham Boiler 106687-01 Conversion

The Burnham Boiler 106687-01 Conversion Kit is engineered for field-converting select Burnham gas-fired boilers from Natural Gas (NG) to Liquid Propane (LP). This authentic Burnham OEM replacement part ensures precise manifold pressure regulation and proper orifice sizing required to maintain the appliance's thermal efficiency and combustion stability. Designed for compatibility with the Burnham Series 2 and Independence series boilers, this kit includes a gas valve conversion regulator and calibrated burner orifices specific to the BTU input of your hydronic heating system. When performing a fuel conversion, technicians must verify the manifold pressure against the manufacturer's data plate to ensure safe operation. This HVAC gas conversion kit provides all necessary components for a seamless transition, preventing soot buildup and ensuring reliable gas-fired boiler performance across varying altitude requirements. Correct installation of this LP conversion kit is critical for maintaining flame rectification and optimal heat exchanger longevity.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Precise Fuel Regulation: Includes specialized LP gas orifices and regulator springs for accurate pressure drops.
• OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for Burnham hydronic boilers to ensure proper thread fitment and gas flow rates.
• Combustion Integrity: Maintains factory AFUE ratings by providing the correct stoichiometric ratio for propane combustion.
• Standardized Fitment: Compatible with Honeywell and White-Rodgers gas valves often utilized in Burnham residential units.

Common Technical Questions:

Can I use this kit for high-altitude installations?
Standard conversion kits are rated for sea level up to 2,000 feet. For higher elevations, significant derating may be necessary; consult the Burnham boiler service manual for specific orifice sizing adjustments.

Does this kit include the pilot orifice?
Yes, the 106687-01 kit typically contains the necessary pilot burner orifice to ensure reliable ignition under the higher energy density of Liquid Propane.

Is a manometer required for installation?
Yes, a digital or U-tube manometer is required to set the LP manifold pressure to the manufacturer's specification (typically 10.0" W.C.) during the commissioning process.
