Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208181 Rollout Switch
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208181 Rollout Switch is a critical OEM replacement part designed for high-efficiency boilers and water heaters. As a 280F Manual Reset Rollout Switch, it serves as a primary thermal safety control, monitoring the burner area for flame rollout conditions. When temperatures exceed the 280-degree Fahrenheit threshold, the 100208181 switch breaks the electrical circuit, immediately shutting down the combustion process to prevent equipment damage and ensure site safety. This HVAC safety limit switch is engineered for precision and reliability in demanding commercial and residential hydronic systems.
This manual reset limit switch is widely used across multiple Lochinvar boiler models and A.O. Smith water heating units, including the Copper-Fin and Power-Fin series. It replaces legacy part numbers 100148400, HLC2908, and HLC2908K, making it a versatile component for your service truck. For technicians performing boiler troubleshooting, this 280-degree thermal switch provides a definitive safety cutoff that requires a physical reset once the underlying venting or heat exchanger issue is resolved, ensuring the system does not resume operation in an unsafe state.
Key Benefits:
- Precision Thermal Monitoring: Actuates strictly at 280°F to provide a reliable fail-safe against combustion chamber overheating.
- OEM Compatibility: Authentic Lochinvar and A.O. Smith part ensures exact fitment and electrical specifications for CBL, CBN, and CWN model series.
- Manual Reset Security: Prevents automatic cycling of faulty equipment, forcing a technician inspection before the system can be restarted.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-grade anti-corrosion materials to withstand the high-heat environment of the burner tray.
- Simplified Integration: Standard spade terminal connections allow for fast field replacement during routine maintenance or emergency service calls.
Common Questions:
What causes a 280F rollout switch to trip?
Tripping is typically caused by a blocked flue, restricted intake air, or a cracked heat exchanger causing flames to "roll out" of the combustion chamber. Always inspect the venting system and heat exchanger integrity before resetting the 100208181.
Is the 100208181 switch interchangeable with other temperature ratings?
No. You must use the specific 280°F rating designated by the manufacturer. Installing a switch with a different temperature limit can compromise system safety or lead to nuisance tripping.
Can I bypass this switch for testing?
Never bypass a rollout safety switch. If the switch is open, it indicates a potentially hazardous condition that must be addressed by an HVAC professional.
