Field Controls 01580101 Control

The Field Controls 01580101 (also indexed as Model 9"RC or 1580101) is a precision-engineered barometric draft control designed for heavy-duty oil or coal heating applications. This 9-inch regulator maintains a consistent draft by automatically compensating for changes in barometric pressure and chimney temperature, ensuring stable combustion efficiency. It features a highly sensitive gate that is adjustable from .02"wc to .08"wc, allowing technicians to calibrate the secondary air intake to meet specific burner manufacturer requirements. Proper installation of this 9-inch draft regulator prevents excessive heat loss through the flue and minimizes erratic burner behavior caused by fluctuating chimney pulls. Constructed with a robust frame and balanced pivot points, the 1580101 provides reliable performance in harsh flue gas environments. For contractors managing residential or light commercial boiler setups, this component is essential for optimizing the CO2-to-fuel ratio and reducing overall fuel consumption.

• Precise Draft Regulation: Accurately maintains a negative pressure range between .02 and .08 inches water column for peak combustion efficiency.
• Versatile Application: Specifically rated for solid fuel or oil-fired equipment where precise draft stabilization is critical.
• Interchangeable Part Numbers: Fully compatible with Field Controls 1580101, ensuring a direct fit for existing 9-inch flue systems.
• Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand high flue temperatures and corrosive combustion byproducts common in coal and oil applications.

How do you adjust the draft setting on the 9"RC?
Adjustments are made by moving the counterweight on the gate bracket. Use a calibrated manometer to verify the flue draft at the appliance outlet while fine-tuning the weight to reach the desired "wc setting.

Can this control be installed in any orientation?
The Field Controls 01580101 must be installed in a vertical, horizontal, or inclined flue pipe, ensuring the gate is plumb and level so the counterweight functions correctly via gravity.

Why is a barometric damper necessary for oil and coal burners?
Without a barometric damper, changes in outdoor temperature and wind can cause excessive draft, pulling heat out of the heat exchanger too quickly and decreasing system efficiency.
