Field Controls 46130002 Power Venter

The Field Controls 46130002, specifically the SWG-3 Power Venter, is a critical component for side-wall venting applications in gas-fired heating systems. Operating at 115Vac with a motor speed of 3000 RPM, this unit is engineered to extract flue gases efficiently when conventional vertical chimneys are unavailable or impractical. It features a 3-inch inlet and is designed for use with natural gas or LP furnaces and boilers. The SWG series utilizes a heavy-duty motor and a corrosion-resistant blower wheel to ensure reliable negative pressure in the vent pipe, preventing backdrafting and ensuring proper venting safety. For technicians, the Field Controls SWG-3 is a preferred choice due to its compact design and compatibility with sidewall vent kits, allowing for flexible equipment placement. Proper installation requires adherence to BTU input ratings and integration with a fan control center or pressure switch to ensure the venter operates in tandem with the burner cycle.

• Enhanced Drafting Performance: Maintains consistent exhaust flow for gas appliances, overcoming restrictive vent runs.
• Durable Construction: Built with stainless steel or coated steel components to withstand high flue gas temperatures.
• Compact Footprint: The 3-inch inlet design is ideal for tight mechanical rooms and residential retrofits.
• System Safety: Designed to prevent the accumulation of carbon monoxide by ensuring positive flue gas extraction.
• Versatile Application: Compatible with various power venting systems and control kits for seamless integration.

What systems are compatible with the SWG-3 Power Venter?
The Field Controls SWG-3 is primarily designed for gas-fired heating equipment. Technicians must verify the total BTU output of the appliance to ensure it does not exceed the maximum capacity of this 3-inch model.

Can I use this power venter for oil-fired applications?
While the SWG series includes models for oil, the 46130002 is specifically configured for gas. Always check the motor specifications and venting material requirements for the specific fuel type being utilized.

Does this unit include the pressure switch or control kit?
This part number typically refers to the replacement power venter motor and housing. For new installations, a CK-series control kit is required to provide the necessary safety interlocks between the appliance and the venter.
