Spare parts on hand
« on: November 16, 2013, 10:26:33 AM »


Ever since I had that bolt that corroded away that caused the primary solenoid not open therefore my fire went out, I've been contemplating having a few replacement parts on hand; i.e. solenoids for the primary and secondary elbows, new rope gaskets for the firebox door as well as the bypass door and reaction chamber door, rebuild kit for the Taco 009-F5 pump in the rear of the OWB, etc...  If any one of those items decides to fail, I'll have them on hand to change out.  For giggles I contacted my Central Boiler rep and asked for pricing for a replacement blower motor.  He said it's $230.00.  I guarantee I can find it cheaper somewhere else.  Roger

Yea, there are a few sites that are cheaper than dealer. Allheatsupply, outdoorfurnaceparts, and freeheat4you are a few.

For extra gaskets slimjim from www.mainlycustom.com has an awesome silicone covered rope gasket. Way better than normal ones well worth the extra money if you ever have to replace them.

Hi all - Thanks for the suggestions where to find after market parts for my OWB.  I'll definitely look into them.  Roger
