Field Controls Draft Inducer for Pipe

The Field Controls Draft Inducer (also called a chimney draft inducer or vent draft fan) fixes drafting problems in oil-fired and gas-fired heating systems. It helps with short chimneys, undersized vent pipes and negative building pressure. It is made for furnaces, water heaters and boilers.

Key Features:

• Forces air flow through the chimney or vent. This creates negative pressure (draft) in the burner chamber.
• Works with oil-fired or gas-fired furnaces, water heaters and boilers.
• Suits long horizontal vent runs, undersized vent pipes, short chimneys and exposed outside chimneys.
• Designed for easy installation in a wide range of applications.
• Runs on 115V, 60 Hz power.
• Works with a Field Controls control kit to vent a single appliance or several. The control kit starts the burner only after draft is established. It shuts down the burner and the inducer when the thermostat is satisfied.
• DI Paks are available for 24 volt and millivolt applications. They include the controls needed.

How it works: When the thermostat calls for heat, the control kit energizes the draft inducer. Once proper draft is proven, the burner is allowed to fire. This gives more consistent venting and helps the heating system run safely.

Field Controls makes venting and combustion control products for residential and commercial heating systems. The draft inducer is offered in several models to match different vent pipe diameters.
