The Field Controls 46075300, also known as the Model DI-2 Draft Inducer, is a purpose-built solution for correcting significant venting issues in gas and oil-fired furnaces, boilers, and water heaters. Operating at 115Vac with a commercial-grade 1550 RPM motor, this unit provides the mechanical assist necessary to overcome drafting problems caused by undersized vent pipes, long horizontal runs, or negative building pressures. As a technical professional, you know that consistent negative pressure in the burner chamber is non-negotiable for safety; this inducer ensures flue gases are efficiently exhausted through 5-inch to 8-inch pipe diameters. With a robust 1.1 Amp draw and 78 Watt power rating, it is thermally protected to handle high-demand cycles while maintaining a maximum flue gas temperature rating of 750°F. This is an essential component for any contractor troubleshooting appliance lockouts or poor combustion performance in challenging chimney configurations. Key Benefits Enhanced System Safety: Mechanically forces airflow to prevent backdrafting and ensure the safe removal of combustion byproduct gases. Universal Compatibility: Optimized for use with gas-fired or oil-fired appliances, supporting a wide range of residential and commercial 5"-8" vent pipes. Draft Problem Correction: Eliminates issues associated with short chimneys, cold flues, and complex horizontal venting layouts. Contractor-Friendly Installation: Includes a DI-2 draft adjustment plate and thermal protection for reliable field performance in high-heat environments. Performance Rating: Delivers consistent static pressure support for appliances ranging up to approximately 353,000 BTU/HR. Common Questions When should a DI-2 Draft Inducer be installed? This model should be utilized when natural draft is insufficient due to undersized flues or when an appliance experiences frequent pilot outages or pressure switch trips due to poor venting architecture. Is a control kit required for operation? Yes, for proper sequencing, a Field Controls Control Kit (CK-Series) is typically required to ensure the inducer energizes before the burner ignites and shuts down after the heating cycle completes. Can this unit be used with solid fuel appliances? No, the Field Controls 46075300 is strictly engineered for gas or oil-fired equipment and must not be installed on wood-burning or solid fuel systems. This item is not eligible for free shipping.
