Product Lines
Aquastat Wells
OMI Parts manufactures aquastat wells in 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch sizes for residential and light commercial boilers. Aquastat wells are threaded fittings that mount in a boiler's aquastat port and provide a sensing pocket for the aquastat's temperature-sensing bulb. OMI Parts aquastat wells provide direct-fit replacements for common residential boiler configurations.
Pigtail Siphons
OMI Parts produces pigtail siphons in angle brass configurations for boiler pressure gauge and pressuretrol connections. A pigtail siphon traps water condensate in a coiled loop to protect the gauge or control from steam pressure and temperature. Specified during boiler pressure gauge or pressuretrol replacement and during boiler service when the existing pigtail shows corrosion or damage.
Steam Siphon Pigtails
OMI Parts' steam siphon pigtail line covers the specific pigtail configurations for steam heating boiler pressure instrument connections. Steam boiler applications subject the pigtail to higher temperatures and more demanding cycling conditions than hot water systems, and OMI Parts steam siphon pigtails are sized and constructed for steam service.
Pump Couplers
OMI Parts manufactures pump couplers — also known as coupler assemblies — for oil burner pump connections, including the OM876 Coupler Assembly for compatible residential oil burner configurations. A pump coupler connects the oil burner motor shaft to the oil pump shaft; when it wears or fails, the oil burner loses fuel supply and requires a replacement coupler.
Oil Tank Accessories
OMI Parts' oil tank accessory line covers vent caps with screens for residential oil storage tanks, allowing the tank to breathe during fuel delivery and consumption while preventing rain, insects, and debris from entering the vent line.
Why Contractors Specify OMI Parts
OMI Parts has been manufacturing replacement parts for the heating industry since 1982. The aquastat well and pigtail siphon line covers the specific sizes and configurations that service technicians encounter on residential and light commercial oil-fired boiler and steam boiler service calls. The OM876 Coupler Assembly addresses one of the common mechanical failure modes in residential oil burner systems — coupler wear. OMI Parts' long-running relationship with the wholesale heating distribution channel makes it a reliable source for small-format specialty parts that aren't always well-stocked through general HVAC supply.
