Description

Reznor 196852 LP Orifice Overview

The Reznor 196852 is a liquid propane (LP) burner orifice designed as a direct OEM replacement for compatible Reznor heating units. Burner orifices are precision-engineered components that meter the correct volume of fuel into the burner assembly, ensuring safe, efficient, and consistent combustion performance. Using the correct orifice for your fuel type is critical — LP orifices are sized specifically for propane’s higher pressure and energy content compared to natural gas.

Key Features

• OEM Reznor replacement part — ensures proper fit and function
• Designed for liquid propane (LP) fuel systems
• Precision-drilled orifice for accurate fuel metering and consistent flame quality

Application

This LP orifice is intended for use in Reznor commercial and industrial unit heaters and duct furnaces that operate on liquid propane fuel. Always verify compatibility with your specific Reznor model before installation. If your unit was originally configured for natural gas, a full gas conversion kit may be required in addition to orifice replacement.

Why Use OEM Reznor Parts?
