Burnham Boiler 109610-01 Vent Switch

Maintain critical safety standards with the Burnham Boiler 109610-01 Vent Switch, a genuine OEM component engineered to monitor flue gas temperatures and prevent hazardous operating conditions. This manual reset blocked vent switch is calibrated to a 200°F temperature rating, ensuring the system safely shuts down if it detects a flue blockage or backdraft. As a direct replacement for legacy part number 6016058, it provides a seamless fit for technicians performing maintenance on Burnham Series 2 and Burnham Commercial units.

Built for durability in high-demand hydronic environments, this high-limit safety switch includes a pre-mounted bracket for efficient installation and precise sensor positioning. It is specifically designed for Burnham boiler models 202-210 and 805-810 (including 8H and 8HE series). By accurately sensing excessive heat within the draft hood or vent collector, this 200-degree vent switch acts as a primary fail-safe against carbon monoxide spillover, protecting both the equipment and the facility.

Common Questions

Does this switch automatically restart the boiler?
No, this is a manual reset safety switch. If the 200°F threshold is exceeded, a technician must manually depress the reset button after identifying and cleared the cause of the blockage.

Is the 109610-01 compatible with older Burnham 6016058 switches?
Yes, the 109610-01 is the official manufacturer-designated direct replacement for the 6016058. It is designed to fit the same footprint and wiring configuration.

What causes this vent switch to trip?
The switch typically trips due to a blocked flue, inadequate chimney draft, or down-drafting, which causes hot combustion gases to spill out of the draft hood and reach the 200°F setpoint.
