SILICON TUBE 2.5′ SERVICE PART | IDXL2SNT1930

The Hayward IDXL2SNT1930 Silicon Tube is a key component in the combustion system of Hayward Universal H-Series pool heaters. Its primary function is to provide a flexible, heat-resistant conduit for air and gas flow within the heater. Here’s how it works within the system:

• How It Works Step-by-Step

• Air and Gas Flow Conduit: The silicon tube connects different components of the heater’s combustion system, such as the combustion blower, pressure switches, and gas valves. It ensures the proper flow of air and gas mixtures, for efficient fuel combustion.
• Pressure Regulation: The tube plays a role in transmitting air pressure from the blower to the pressure switch. The pressure switch monitors airflow and ensures that the heater only ignites when there is adequate airflow for safe combustion.
• Ignition Process Support: During the ignition process, the silicon tube helps maintain the correct air-to-gas ratio, which is crucial for igniting and sustaining a stable flame.
• Heat and Moisture Resistance: Made of durable silicon, the tube is designed to withstand high temperatures and exposure to moisture, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
• Safety Function: If airflow is blocked or restricted, the pressure switch will not activate, preventing the ignition process and ensuring safe heater operation. The tube’s flexibility allows it to maintain a secure connection even as the heater components expand and contract with temperature changes.
