Velocity Boiler Works (Crown) 96-033 Vent Damper
The Velocity Boiler Works (Crown) 96-033 is a 7-inch automatic vent damper designed to maximize the efficiency of residential and commercial gas boilers by preventing standby heat loss. As a field-serviceable OEM replacement part, this motorized flue damper is critical for maintaining the proper draft in natural draft boilers. When the burner shuts down, the damper closes to keep residuals and heated air from escaping through the chimney, which directly reduces fuel consumption. This HVAC ventilation control is built for seamless integration with existing 24V gas valve circuits and includes a keyed wire harness for foolproof electronic synchronization. Its 7-inch diameter fits standard Category I venting systems, ensuring a precise seal without restricting the flue during active combustion cycles. For installers, the 96-033 damper assembly's fail-safe design keeps the butterfly plate in the open position if power is interrupted, maintaining safety gas boiler performance through all stages of operation.
- Automatic Thermal Retention: Shuts off chimney draft during the off-cycle to preserve heat within the heat exchanger.
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Velocity Boiler Works and Crown gas-fired systems for exact fitment.
- Fail-Safe Actuator: Internal motor maintains a "fail-open" default to ensure flue gases exit safely during power loss.
- Simplified Wiring: Features a 4-pin plug-and-play harness to reduce labor time on boiler repairs and maintenance.
- Energy Efficiency: Helps systems meet AFUE rating standards by eliminating off-cycle air infiltration.
Common Questions:
Can I install the 96-033 on a standing pilot system?
This unit is typically used with intermittent ignition boilers. If being retrofitted to a standing pilot system, the internal vent plug must be properly configured to prevent pilot outage from lack of oxygen.
What causes a vent damper to fail to open?
Most failures are due to actuator motor burnout or a loose connection in the boiler control harness. Always verify 24V signal from the transformer before replacing the entire assembly.
Is the 96-033 compatible with power venters?
No, this is a natural draft vent damper designed for atmospheric boilers. It should not be used on forced-draft or power-vented appliances unless specified by the manufacturer.
