Utica-Dunkirk 550002998 LWCO Kit
Maintaining the integrity of a hydronic system requires precise water level management, and the Utica-Dunkirk 550002998 LWCO Kit is the standard for low water cutoff protection in professional boiler maintenance and safety protocols. Specifically engineered as the XEB/15B LWCO Kit, this OEM replacement part is compatible with Utica and Dunkirk boilers, including the 15B Series III and XEB Series gas-fired water boilers. The kit features a Hydrolevel Safgard 1100-H6 electronic probe-type sensor, which monitors conductivity to ensure the burner circuit is interrupted if water levels drop below the safe operating threshold. By preventing dry firing, it shields the cast iron heat exchanger from thermal shock and catastrophic metal fatigue. This field-installable low water cutoff switch includes a 4-pin wiring harness (P/N 104081-01) for seamless integration with the boiler's internal control module. Contractors rely on the 550002998 for its reliable 24V safety circuit logic and simplified installation in standard 3/4-inch boiler tappings.
Key Benefits for Technicians:
- Critical System Safety: Provides immediate burner shutdown in low-water conditions to prevent boiler dry firing and cracked heat exchanger sections.
- Broad Compatibility: Designed for Utica-Dunkirk residential and commercial hydronic systems, fitting models like the XEB-2 through XEB-6 and the 15B series.
- Durable Probe Design: Utilizes Safgard 1100-H6 technology with a rugged metal probe for accurate sensing even in systems with varying water quality.
- Simplified Field Retrofit: The kit includes the specialized 4-pin harness and snap bushings required to interface directly with the factory control vestibule.
Common Questions:
Which boiler models work with the 550002998 kit?
This LWCO replacement kit is primarily specified for Utica and Dunkirk gas-fired water boilers, specifically those in the XEB Series and 15B Series III families that utilize the 3/4" probe-style safety controls.
Does this kit include the wiring harness?
Yes, the 550002998 comes complete with the necessary 4-pin square connector harness and installation hardware required to connect the Safgard probe to the IHC boiler control module.
Can the probe be cleaned if it fouls?
While the 1100-H6 is designed for longevity, HVAC contractors recommend annual inspection. If sediment or scale accumulates, the probe can often be cleaned with fine steel wool to restore electrical conductivity sensing before considering a full low water cutoff replacement.
