Water heater

Post by Fjb »

Anyone know the name of the part circled in the photo of a water heater. Ours is rusted and we plan on getting a replacement part but don’t know what it is called. Thanks.....

Looks like this part, but check your serial number for 6 gal water heater for sure:

I am surprised that there is no manual for the Suburban water heater in the reference section. I want my membership fee refund :lol:

Seriously, it is a common item, and simply called "the burner" and the little hole that controls the fuel/air mixture is called "the orifice" and it is about $20, and readily available.
