Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100112986 Gasket Burner
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100112986 Gasket Burner is a critical sealing component engineered for high-recovery commercial and residential water heaters and boilers. This OEM replacement burner gasket is designed to withstand the extreme thermal cycling common in combustion chamber applications, ensuring a gas-tight seal between the burner assembly and the heat exchanger. For HVAC contractors, maintaining the integrity of this seal is vital for preventing flue gas bypass and ensuring optimal BTU input across the modulation range. Constructed from high-stability refractory fiber material, the 100112986 helps mitigate heat loss and maintains consistent flame signal stability. This part is a direct replacement for Lochinvar 100112986 and A.O. Smith 100112986, frequently utilized in condensing water heater repair and annual preventative maintenance. Proper compression of this gasket is necessary to prevent premature failure of the burner head mounting bracket and to maintain the safety standards required for FVIR (Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant) systems.
Key Benefits- Combustion Integrity: Ensures a precise, high-temperature seal to prevent dangerous gas leaks and CO bypass into the mechanical room.
- Thermal Resilience: Specialized material composition handles rapid temperature fluctuations without brittle failure or degradation.
- Model Versatility: Direct compatibility with a wide range of A.O. Smith and Lochinvar commercial units, simplifying fleet maintenance.
- Operational Efficiency: Eliminates air infiltration to maintain the correct fuel-to-air ratio for clean, high-efficiency combustion.
- When should this burner gasket be replaced? It should be replaced during every annual burner inspection or whenever the burner assembly is removed for cleaning or heat exchanger service.
- Is this part compatible with Knight Boilers? While similar to other gaskets, always verify your specific model and serial number to ensure the 100112986 matches the burner assembly requirements.
- Can I reuse the existing gasket if it looks intact? Veteran technicians recommend against reuse; once a gasket has been compressed and heat-cycled, it cannot reliably provide a gas-tight seal upon reinstallation.
Disclaimer: While we strive for 100% accuracy, product data and specifications are subject to change. Please contact our team to confirm compatibility or technical details before purchasing.
