BOILER PARTS / AKRON, OHIO
Boiler Parts Sales and Service in Akron, OH
Ask around about boiler parts sales Akron plant engineers trust and you hear the same thing: stock that is close and people who know steam. D. B. Johnsen Co. has supplied commercial and industrial boiler parts from Richfield since 1958, about twenty minutes up I-77 from downtown Akron. We sell to plants, hospitals, schools, and the contractors who service them. No residential work.
Akron built its economy on rubber, and the rubber plants ran on steam. Those old brick boiler houses in South Akron and along East Market Street are mostly gone or repurposed now, but the polymer compounders, mixers, and process plants that followed still need steam held to a tight pressure band. When a part fails mid-batch, the product in the line is at risk, not just the heat.
Boiler Parts Sales in Akron for Polymer and Process Plants
Polymer processing punishes boilers. Load swings hard as presses and mixers cycle, and controls get asked to make a lot of decisions in a shift. That is where most boiler parts sales Akron customers bring us come from: pressure controls, modulating motors, low water cutoffs, and the gauge glass that takes a beating from constant cycling. We keep those in our boiler parts stock in Richfield.
If you searched boiler parts sale near me from a plant in Akron and mostly found residential supply houses, call our counter instead. In-stock parts ship UPS the same day, and will-call is a short run north on I-77.
Burner Components and Flame Safeguard Upgrades for Akron Boiler Houses
Burner parts and components on an Akron process boiler wear faster than on a building heating boiler simply because they fire more often. Diffusers warp, electrodes erode, linkage loosens. We supply the replacements and match them to the burner model, not just the boiler.
Burner controls and flame safeguards on older Akron units are frequently obsolete. We cross them over to a current model and supply the scanner and wiring base. If you want the work done start to finish, our boiler service technicians can commission the new control and run a combustion analysis on the same trip.
Boiler Feedwater and Deaerator Parts Where Akron Runs Process Steam
Process steam plants return less condensate than heating plants, which means more makeup water and harder duty on feedwater equipment. The parts we supply most to Akron steam users:
- Boiler feedwater system parts, including level controls, makeup valves, and pump seals
- Deaerator parts for spray and tray units
- Boiler pumps for feedwater and condensate return
- Economizer parts and heat recovery and HRSG parts, sourced through the boiler manufacturers we represent
Fuel Oil Pumps and Day Tank Parts for Akron Dual-Fuel Burners
Several larger Akron facilities keep oil as a backup fuel. The oil side may not run for months, and seals dry out and strainers clog in the meantime. We supply fuel oil pumps, day tank components such as level switches and transfer pump parts, and fuel oil controls including solenoid valves and regulators.
When the backup will not come up and production cannot wait, a trailer-mounted rental boiler can carry the plant while our repair crew sorts out the permanent fix.
Tube and Safety Valve Replacement Parts for Akron's Heating Season
Akron sits higher and a little farther from the lake than Cleveland, so it misses some of the lake-effect bands, but the cold arrives just the same. Retube and valve work is best done before it does. We supply boiler tubes for firetube and watertube units, and safety and relief valves matched to the set pressure and relieving capacity on the existing tag. Pressure vessel repairs are handled under our ASME R-Stamp certification by our own boiler repair technicians.
Why Akron Manufacturers Buy Boiler Parts From a Richfield Shop
Distance is part of it. From the Central Interchange where I-76 and I-77 tangle together downtown, our counter is about twenty minutes north, close enough for a maintenance tech to drive up on a lunch break.
The rest is depth. We have stocked boiler parts since 1958, we answer calls and quote requests within two to four hours, and the same phone number reaches our 24-hour emergency line after the counter closes. We also carry used and overstock components for the older equipment that is still common in Summit County.
That combination is what boiler parts sales Akron plants have come to expect from us: a real shelf, a short drive, and someone on the phone who understands steam.

How long does it take to get a boiler part to Akron?

Do you supply parts for process boilers that cycle heavily?
Yes. Pressure controls, modulating motors, low water cutoffs, gauge glass, and burner components that wear quickly under heavy cycling are among the parts we keep in stock.
Can you replace an obsolete flame safeguard on an Akron boiler?

Do you carry parts for deaerators and feedwater systems?
We supply feedwater system parts, deaerator parts for spray and tray units, and boiler pumps for feed and condensate return. Economizer and heat recovery parts come through the manufacturers we represent.
What information do you need to quote a part?
The make, model, and serial number from the boiler nameplate, and the part description or symptom. A photo of the plate and the failed part is the fastest way to get an exact match.

How do you match a replacement safety or relief valve?

Who do I call if a boiler fails after hours?
Call 330-659-9295. The counter is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, and after hours the same number reaches our 24-hour emergency service line.
