Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100161835 Valve
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100161835 Air Metering Valve is a critical component for maintaining the precise combustion air-to-fuel ratio in high-efficiency condensing boilers and water heaters. Engineered for exact modulation, this venturi air valve ensures the burner receives the correct airflow required for stable ignition and optimal thermal efficiency. It is a direct OEM replacement part designed to interface seamlessly with the blower assembly and gas valve train. When troubleshooting flame failure or CO2 level fluctuations, verifying the integrity of the air metering valve is essential, as any obstruction or misalignment within the air intake path can lead to short cycling or soot accumulation. This valve is built to withstand the rigors of high-cycle commercial environments, providing the durability needed for Lochinvar Knight and A.O. Smith Cyclone series units. Precision machining prevents air bypass, ensuring the pre-mix burner system operates within manufacturer specified tolerances.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Ensures precise air-to-fuel mixture for maximum combustion efficiency and reduced emissions.
- Direct OEM replacement for 100161835 and 106330-000, ensuring exact fitment without field modifications.
- Heavy-duty construction minimizes mechanical vibration and air leaks within the intake assembly.
- Critical for resolving ignition lockout issues related to improper air pressure or flow detection.
- Maintains modulation accuracy across the full firing range of high-turn-down heating systems.
How do I know if the air metering valve needs replacement?
If you observe erratic CO2 readings during combustion analysis or experience persistent hard starts and "no flame" errors, the air metering valve or its gaskets may be compromised, affecting the venturi effect required to draw in fuel.
Is this valve compatible with both Natural Gas and Propane units?
Yes, the 100161835 valve is used in both fuel configurations; however, the combustion parameters must be recalibrated using a calibrated combustion analyzer after any air or gas train component is replaced.
Does this assembly include the mounting gaskets?
It is standard practice to inspect and replace gaskets when installing a new air metering valve to ensure a gastight seal; refer to your specific model's parts list for the corresponding gasket kit numbers.
