Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100163255 Kit
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100163255 Air Inlet Kit is a critical OEM component designed to provide regulated, clean combustion air to high-efficiency residential and commercial heating systems. Engineered specifically for compatibility with Lochinvar Knight and A.O. Smith boiler and water heater models, including the KB 500 and AW 501 series, this kit ensures the burner receives the precise oxygen volume required for optimal stoichiometric combustion. By maintaining a stable air intake path, it prevents the intake of contaminants that can lead to premature component failure or inefficient fuel-to-air ratios. This assembly replaces legacy part numbers 100166577, PVC2034, and MSC3186, facilitating a direct-fit installation during routine maintenance or system upgrades. For technicians servicing high-efficiency condensing boilers, utilizing this genuine air inlet assembly is essential for meeting manufacturer venting specifications and ensuring reliable HVAC combustion airflow across varying atmospheric conditions.
Key Benefits
- Optimized Combustion Efficiency: Prevents fuel waste and reduces emissions by ensuring proper oxygen delivery to the burner.
- Broad Compatibility: Direct OEM replacement for KB 500, AW 501, and AWN601/701/801PM applications.
- System Longevity: Protects internal heat exchangers and burners from debris and dirty intake air.
- Seamless Integration: Standardized 100163255 kit components allow for fast, reliable field installation without modifications.
Common Questions
Which boiler models are compatible with this air inlet kit?
This part is specifically designed for Lochinvar Knight (KB) and Armour (AW) series units, including larger commercial models like the AWN601 through AWN801PM.
Can I use this kit to replace a PVC2034 part?
Yes, the 100163255 is the official superseding part number for PVC2034 and MSC3186, ensuring full functional equivalence.
Why is OEM air intake hardware necessary versus generic venting?
OEM kits are calibrated for specific pressure drops, ensuring the combustion air supply does not cause the system to fault under high-fire or low-fire operations.
