Velocity Boiler Works (Crown) 96-032 Vent Damper
As a field tech, you know that a failed flue damper is one of the most common reasons for a "no heat" call on a steam or hydronic system. The Velocity Boiler Works (Crown) 96-032 Vent Damper is the heavy-duty, 6-inch factory replacement designed specifically for Crown boiler systems and Velocity steam boilers. This automatic flue damper is engineered to eliminate standby heat loss by sealing the vent pipe the moment the burner cycles off, keeping your residual heat in the block where it belongs rather than letting it draft out the chimney. Using a precise motorized vent damper actuation, it ensures the flue is fully open before allowing the ignition sequence to proceed, maintaining safety and preventing rollout. This OEM boiler part integrates seamlessly with existing wiring harnesses, making it a drop-in solution for 6-inch flue pipes on residential and light commercial equipment.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- System Efficiency: Minimizes seasonal energy consumption by preventing conditioned air from escaping through the vent pipe during off-cycles.
- Direct Compatibility: Designed for Crown BSI series and AWR series boilers, ensuring the electrical plug-and-play matches your current harness.
- Rugged Actuation: Features a robust motor drive built to withstand the high ambient temperatures of a boiler room environment.
- Safety Interlock: Integral end switch proves the damper position before permitting the gas valve to open, ensuring zero-risk operation.
- Genuine OEM Quality: Avoid the troubleshooting headaches of universal "fits-all" dampers; this is the Velocity Boiler Works authorized component.
Common Questions from the Field
How do I verify if the 96-032 is the correct size for my stack?
This unit is specifically for a 6-inch vent. Measure the outer diameter of your existing flue pipe or the chimney connector; if it is 6 inches, this is the standard mechanical fit for Crown steam boilers.
Will this damper work if my current wiring harness has a different pin count?
The 96-032 uses the standard Velocity/Crown boiler molex connection. Always verify your specific model and serial number, but this part is the primary replacement for most 6" automatic vent dampers in their residential lineup.
Can I install this on a power vent unit?
No, this is an atmospheric vent damper intended for chimney-vented systems. It is not designed to operate in high-pressure power vent applications or plastic venting systems.
