Laars Heating Systems 20052602 Draft Hood
The Laars Heating Systems 20052602 Draft Hood is a critical OEM replacement part designed for precision atmospheric venting in residential gas-fired hydronic boilers. Engineered specifically for the Laars Mini-Therm I & II series, including models JV, JVS, and JVT (sizes 75–100), this 10-inch outside diameter diverter hood ensures stable combustion by managing flue pressure. By introducing dilution air into the flue vent connector, it prevents excessive chimney draft from pulling heat out of the heat exchanger, preserving thermal efficiency. This 5-inch vent component is fabricated for a 4-inch lower connection, providing a secure fit for standard chimney venting configurations. Technicians should verify boiler compatibility prior to installation to ensure proper draft hood relief opening performance and to mitigate the risk of flue gas spillage or carbon monoxide accumulation. This heavy-duty boiler draft hood is essential for maintaining the safe operation and longevity of hydronic heating systems.
Key Benefits:
- Precision Compatibility: Designed as a direct OEM part for Laars Mini-Therm models JV, JVS, and JVT (75-100).
- Combustion Stability: Effectively isolates the burner from fluctuating chimney drafts to ensure steady flame performance.
- Safety Integration: Features a 5-inch exhaust outlet and 4-inch base for standard venting system integration.
- Construction Quality: Durable 6.12 lb assembly built to withstand high-temperature flue gases and resist venting corrosion.
- Efficiency Protection: Optimizes airflow and pressure to prevent heat loss and improve overall energy efficiency.
Common Questions:
What is the primary function of this draft hood?
This unit acts as a neutralizer between the appliance and the chimney. It maintains a constant pressure at the boiler exit by allowing dilution air into the flue, preventing backdrafts and ensuring consistent combustion regardless of outdoor wind conditions.
How do I check for proper draft hood operation?
After 5 minutes of burner operation, technicians should perform a spillage test at the relief opening using a smoke pen or match. If smoke is pushed back into the room, there is a blockage or restriction in the chimney vent that must be addressed immediately.
Is this part compatible with high-efficiency condensing boilers?
No. This draft hood is exclusively for atmospheric gas-fired boilers like the Mini-Therm series. Condensing units use sealed combustion or power venting and should never be equipped with an open draft hood.
