Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100111065 Switch
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100111065 Blocked Outlet Switch is a critical safety component designed for high-efficiency commercial gas-fired systems, including the BTH, SUF, and HCG series. Engineered specifically for natural gas water heaters, this OEM replacement part monitors the venting system for potential obstructions. If the switch detects a significant restriction or blockage in the flue outlet, it immediately interrupts the control circuit to prevent the accumulation of hazardous combustion gases and protect the heat exchanger from thermal stress. As a blocked outlet safety switch, it ensures the unit operates within manufacturer-specified pressure and temperature parameters, maintaining system integrity and operational safety in demanding industrial or commercial settings.
For technicians servicing A.O. Smith Cyclone Xi or Lochinvar high-efficiency boilers, integrating a genuine 100111065 switch is non-negotiable for system compliance. This part is calibrated to respond to precise pressure differentials, preventing nuisance shutdowns while offering reliable protection against venting failures. When troubleshooting "Blocked Outlet" fault codes on the digital interface, verify the integrity of the vent piping and terminations before replacing the switch. This component is a direct-fit solution, ensuring the combustion process remains safe and efficient across 100-150 and 100-199 BTU models.
Key Benefits- Precise Pressure Monitoring: Detects flue obstructions instantly to prevent hazardous backdrafting of combustion gases.
- Application Specific: Optimized for high-efficiency natural gas commercial water heaters and boilers.
- System Protection: Helps prevent damage to the combustion chamber and internal components due to improper venting.
- Direct OEM Fit: Ensures seamless integration with existing BTH, SUF, and HCG control boards and wiring harnesses.
What causes a blocked outlet fault code on my unit?
A blocked outlet fault is typically triggered by a physical obstruction in the vent pipe, excessive vent length exceeding maximum specifications, or a failing 100111065 switch that can no longer accurately sense pressure.
Is the 100111065 switch compatible with propane (LP) models?
This specific part number is calibrated and specified for natural gas configurations. Always verify your specific model and serial number against the manufacturer's parts list to ensure fuel-type compatibility.
Can I bypass this switch for testing purposes?
Bypassing safety switches is never recommended. If the system is tripping, it indicates a venting or pressure issue that must be corrected by a qualified technician to ensure safe operation.
