Field Controls Power Venter Draft Inducer Motors & Vent Parts

Field Controls Power Venters and Draft Inducers use mechanical draft to vent combustion gases from gas-fired and oil-fired heating appliances. They are used on furnaces, boilers and water heaters. They are also called power vents, sidewall venters, in-line draft inducers or vent fans. They are a good choice where a conventional chimney can't provide reliable natural draft.

Key Features:

• Mechanical draft: An electric motor creates the draft that moves flue gases out of the appliance and through the vent pipe.
• Smaller vent piping: Because the venter creates the draft, the vent pipe can be smaller than a typical chimney system, and it can be routed with few elbows.
• Sidewall and in-line options: The line includes sidewall power venters (SWG series) and in-line draft inducers (DI series), so you can match the venter to the appliance and vent layout.
• Safety interlock: The venter works with the appliance control circuit, using control kits and safety switches. This helps verify draft before the burner fires.
• Motor protection: Draft inducer motors include thermal protection.
• Use with draft controls: Pair the venter with a barometric draft control to keep draft consistent. Use a single-acting control on oil-fired equipment.
