Why Choose the 40256 / 20264 Shaker Grate Frame?

A cracked or warped grate frame can cause misalignment of shaker grates, restrict airflow, and reduce furnace efficiency. Replacing it with this OEM cast iron shaker grate frame restores proper grate positioning, improves ash removal, and supports consistent combustion. Designed for durability and precision fit, this frame is an essential component of a properly functioning shaker grate system.

Installation Instructions:

Allow the furnace to cool completely before servicing. Ensure all embers are extinguished and remove ash from the ash pan.

Open the firebox door and locate the shaker grate assembly. Identify the shaker grate frame supporting the grate sections.

Disconnect the shaker linkage or rod if required by your furnace design. Carefully lift or slide the old grate frame out of the firebox.

Clean the firebox floor and support rails to remove ash and debris. Inspect surrounding grate components for wear or damage.

Position the new cast iron shaker grate frame into the firebox, ensuring it sits flat and properly supports the shaker grate sections (40257).

Reinstall shaker grate sections and reconnect the shaker linkage if removed. Before firing the furnace, operate the shaker handle to confirm smooth movement and proper ash drop.

Reload fuel and resume normal furnace operation.

Installation tip: Always confirm all grate sections move together smoothly. Binding or uneven movement can indicate incorrect frame alignment or additional worn components.
