Pinnacle v.s. Munchkin

I'm working on a Pinnacle PI-80 that has a dead blower motor. I've swapped out the control board to no result (fault code F-13). I want to confirm with you guys who have more experience with this Pinnacle series, that parts are basically interchangeable between the PI-80 and the essentially similar Munchkin 80M. Is the Munchkin blower - part #7250-085 a direct replacement for the Peerless blower - part #91546? Since the Munchkin part is available for about 1/3 the cost of the Peerless part, there is a lot of $$ to be saved by going with the 80M part!

    You need to contact either Peerless or HTP for the answer to that. I do not have the two I & O manuals handy or I would look it up.

    I think it's worth the gamble with that cost difference. Same boiler, different tag.

    Pinnacle is re-labelled HTP. I agree with wcs.

    I would be careful when dealing with electronic boards as they can have the very slightest difference and yet still look the same. As stated I would check with manufacturers.

    To answer my own question: YES, the Munchkin 80M blower is an exact replacement for the Pinnacle PI-80. Installed it today, and their are smiles on the folks faces. Saved them a lot of cash too!
