Field Controls 02723101 Control
The Field Controls 02723101 (Model 7" RC) is a standard-issue barometric draft control engineered for residential and commercial oil or coal-fired heating equipment. As a veteran-grade draft regulator, it stabilizes the static pressure within the flue, counteracting changes in barometric pressure, wind velocity, and ambient temperature that disrupt combustion. This unit is calibrated for a precise draft range of .02"wc to .08"wc and is designed for a 7-inch nominal pipe size (38.5 sq. in. capacity). By maintaining a consistent flue draft, the 7" RC control slows the velocity of combustion gases through the heat exchanger, maximizing heat extraction and preventing fuel-wasting over-draft or dangerous back-drafting conditions. The robust 24-gauge construction and sensitive weighted gate ensure long-term reliability in high-temperature venting environments. This part is functionally identical to the 2723101 model and is a drop-in replacement for most HVAC draft stabilization applications where precise air-to-fuel ratios are mission-critical.
Key Benefits
- Optimized Fuel Efficiency: Eliminates excessive draft to ensure complete combustion and reduced fuel consumption in oil or coal systems.
- Equipment Protection: Prevents puff-backs and soot accumulation by stabilizing appliance draft under varying atmospheric conditions.
- Universal Mounting: Engineered for horizontal, vertical, or sloping flue installations with a balance gate that remains plumb for accurate sensing.
- Precise Adjustment: Features a variable weight adjustment bracket to match specific boiler and furnace manufacturer specifications.
Common Questions
How do I set the draft for a 7" RC control?
Calibration should be performed with a draft gauge while the burner is under fire. Adjust the sliding weight to maintain the lowest possible draft that still provides clean combustion per the appliance manufacturer’s data plate.
Can this be used on gas-fired appliances?
No, the Model 7" RC is a single-acting control designed specifically for solid fuel or oil applications. Gas-fired atmospheric appliances typically require a double-acting MG1 or M+MG2 series control to safely vent combustion gases.
Does the 02723101 include the mounting collar?
This specific SKU generally refers to the draft control unit itself. For new installations on a pipe without an existing aperture, verify if a separate 7-inch collar is required for a secure, airtight fit.
