    Why do you have both a Honeywell Smart Valve and an S8610 Ignition Module? If you have a hot surface ignition pilot assembly, then use the Smart Valve. If you have a Spark Ignition pilot assembly, then you will use the S8610M, but you will also need a redundant gas valve, not a Smart Valve. Did you obtain this conversion kit through a Burnham distributor? Let me know exactly what you have and I will be glad to help.

    Conversion Kit

    OK....now that I know you do indeed have the correct gas valve, I can proceed. I will have to look up the power venter and control kit and will send you an e-mail with the directions. The gas valve you have is not a Smart Valve.

    I have a Burham model 206NCL-TEi2 boiler and would like to add boiler reset control. Is this possible with this model?

    The unanswered question is do you need a Field barometric and the answer is YES! The venter will pull too much air through the boiler and drafthood and could create a dangerous condition. The motorized damper is no longer needed.
    This installation must be tested with a combustion analyzer to confirm all the gases are being pulled out of the boiler, not just the room.
