I have a Burnham V-18 series (Dry Base) Boiler w/ Beckett AF burner
It has a F-6 head that I'm going to replace, I've read that with (Dry Base sys.'s) the head should have a (opional) heat shield. (It looks like a ring in my old manual that seems to be a separate part) Because what I have presently is a one piece F-6 head (stamping). It's been there over 10 yr.'s ( It doesn't show any sign of heat damage, it's just old. Are those heat shields still used & do I really need one ?? I've tried to search for one without success.
