BURNHAM NEW YORKER 6016067 Switch

The Burnham New Yorker 6016067 Blocked Vent Switch is a critical safety component designed for atmospheric boilers and water heaters. As a safety limit switch, this manual reset thermal disc monitors the draft hood for flue gas spillage, a condition often caused by chimney obstructions or inadequate draft. This spill switch is engineered to break the electrical circuit to the gas valve or ignition module if it detects temperatures exceeding its calibrated set point, preventing carbon monoxide buildup in the mechanical room. When troubleshooting HVAC burner lockout issues, verifying the integrity of this replacement thermal switch is essential for restoring system operation. This genuine OEM boiler part ensures compatibility and performance standards required for New Yorker and Burnham residential heating units. Utilizing this vent safety switch maintains the high-limit protection necessary for code-compliant installations and reliable boiler sequencing in demanding hydronic applications.

• Manual Reset Feature: Prevents automatic recycling of the burner following a flue gas spillage event, requiring a technician to inspect the venting system.
• Precise Thermal Calibration: Engineered for accurate temperature sensing to ensure rapid response times during hazardous blocked vent conditions.
• Easy Integration: Features standard spade terminal connections for straightforward wiring into existing boiler safety circuits and limit strings.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the high ambient temperatures common near draft hoods and heat exchangers without premature failure.

What causes this switch to trip frequently on a New Yorker boiler?

Frequent tripping usually indicates a restricted chimney, improper draft, or insufficient combustion air in the mechanical room. It is rarely a nuisance trip; the venting system must be inspected for obstructions.

Can I bypass the 6016067 switch for testing purposes?

While a jump-wire can be used momentarily for diagnostic continuity testing, the switch must never be bypassed during normal operation as it serves as a primary life-safety device.

Is the 6016067 switch compatible with all Burnham atmospheric models?

This switch is specific to several New Yorker and Burnham series. Always verify the temperature rating on the existing disc to ensure this blocked vent switch matches the required thermal profile of your specific model.
