OEM Lennox Burner Support & Cap Kit — 16U97

The Lennox 16U97 Burner Support & Cap Kit is a genuine OEM assembly designed to hold your gas burners in precise alignment and seal the burner ports on compatible Lennox furnaces. The support cradles each burner so the flame lands correctly on the heat exchanger, while the end caps close off the manifold assembly to maintain proper gas distribution and combustion geometry. Correct burner positioning is critical for clean ignition, stable flame, and efficient heat transfer.

When the original support bracket or caps corrode, warp, or work loose, you may notice delayed or rough ignition, uneven or lifting flames, flame rollout, rattling from the burner compartment, or a burner that has shifted out of position. Left unaddressed, misaligned burners can lead to sooting, nuisance limit trips, and premature heat exchanger stress.

Choosing the OEM 16U97 ensures an exact fit to Lennox burner spacing and manifold tolerances that generic parts rarely match. A proper factory fit protects combustion efficiency, safe operation, and the manufacturer's design specifications for your Lennox equipment. Verify the part number against your unit's parts list or nameplate before installing.
