I accept a raypak p-r406a-en-c (natural gas) unit and I'm having a flame rollout problem. I looked at the flue and it's articulate. There'south no obvious issues (no dead beasties). No obvious damage. I tried adjusting the pressure level a bit, 3/four of a turn counter clockwise didn't change the flame height. It's pretty much tightened clockwise in it's original country. Since I saw no change, I stopped playing with it and put it back where information technology was. Are there any other customer capable items that I can do before bringing in the professional person?

Check and make sure that all the burners are firing properly and blue. Roll out occurs when either the exchanger is sooted up, or you take 1 or more clogged burners. Curl out sensor is one time use, no reset and must be replaced (if it is open).

Yes, my rollout sensor is currently toast and needs to exist replaced. And then does my wire really....large yellow flame. The more I research this information technology seems that everything points to improper combustion (yeah I kinda already knew that). The basics seem to point to either poor ventilation (either intake or exhaust) or clogged tubing. Now I'thousand wrestling with how deep I'm going to get into this. I'm convinced I can pull the burners safely and then employ a trusty coat hanger to clean it out. I'thousand thinking that might be my next course of action. The problem is that I have a teenage altogether pool political party borderline looming.

Most obvious cause, every bit was mentioned, is the estrus exchanger is sooted up. You will need to open up upwards the unit of measurement to become to it. Poking around with a coat hanger wire realy won't get the job washed. If I can't pull the estrus exchanger out to clean information technology. I pull the burners, gas valve, etc and flush the heat exchanger with a garden hose. The virtually common cause for these to plug up is running also cold of water thru them. This causes a lot of condensation in the burner sleeping accommodation that causes the combustion by-products to condense out and build upwardly inside the unit. Once a little starts it is like fertilizing a weed.... Information technology but gets worse and worse. Very common trouble in home heating boilers equally well.

Solution: paid to accept repair homo gear up it....but I watched.
I read in multiple spots that I needed to clean out the unit of measurement equally it was mostly clogged with spider webs. The problem was that I didn't know how to practice that. I watched a video on YouTube that showed someone pulling out the unabridged burner unit and cleaning out the jets. That struck me similar much more than I was capable of, and then that'due south why I paid for a repair. As information technology turns out that wasn't needed and wasn't washed. Other than the normal vacuum out junk steps in the maintenance visit, the repair man pulled out his handy coat hanger. I read others proverb that yous could clean out the unit with a coat hanger, but I only didn't see where I was supposed to do what I was trying to exercise. As it turns out, where the jets meet the tubes that distribute the flame, in that location is a petty nook where you lot can insert a glaze hanger and plunge the tube clean. After plunging the first one he pulled out what looked similar a lollipop of cobwebs on the stop of the hanger.....problem solved. He cleaned the rest and fixed the damage done to the flame rollover sensor and I was back in business.
So, what did we learn? Every year before firing upwards the heater for the first time, I should utilise a coat hanger and plunge the tubes to make certain this doesn't happen again.

I had the same issue and the thermo fuse blew. Afterwards replacing the thermo fuse I started monitoring it for flame rollout and institute that on windy days the flame would rollout, then I contacted Raypak and they are sending me a vent extension. I likewise noticed on line they sell a D-2 Power Vent as an extra feature, with easy to install directions. Question to those reading this: has anyone installed the power vent and did you take positive results?

Had the same problem on my Raypak heater with flame rollout, and fuse blowing. Replaced the fuse and constitute cobwebs in the stainless steel chutes that the gas orifices point to. No disassembly required. Hope this helps someone.

Orifice spiders are a nefarious group. They too inhabit gas grills and anywhere an unused hole is available. Tuition...cost of education.

I'm reading almost Rollout fuses blowing and the main cause I'grand seeing is those dreaded Orifice spiders! Dam those trivial buggers! Tin can anyone tell me a manner to keep them out of my heater in the first identify? I'm tired of dropping $25 dollars every leap because they have congenital a home in my pipes. I could consider information technology an Eviction fee just afterward a few years it does add upwardly. Any ideas are most welcome! Thank's folks !

The spiders are making a abode in the burner, not the orifice. They do nest in the orifices, just when this happens, y'all get no flame (no gas). Clear the burners, then yous will have to do some testing. Endeavour running the heater for a few minutes every calendar month that the puddle is operating, weather you are heating or non. If they still come dorsum, yous volition have to increase the frequency, every two weeks, and so on, until you lot detect that they are not getting in in that location between heater runs.
And at that place is ever the pesticide route...

I just installed a D-ii yesterday on a Raypak 266 for an indoor puddle. I am happy with it and so far.
