Eclipse Flame Safeguards Discontinued? Here’s How to Replace Them Without Replacing the System

Some legacy Honeywell Eclipse flame safeguard and burner controllers — including familiar products like Veri-Flame and Multi-Flame — are no longer sold under the Eclipse name. While that can sound alarming at first, it doesn’t mean your system is obsolete or that a full redesign is required. In many cases, direct, like-for-like replacements are still available from Fireye, the original manufacturer behind many of these Eclipse-branded devices.

This guide breaks down what’s actually changed, what hasn’t, and why it matters for your next replacement or repair. You’ll see how updated branding, colors, and part numbers still deliver the same functionality, dimensions, compatibility, and listings, helping you save time, control costs, and keep systems running without unnecessary upgrades.

Eclipse Flame Safeguards Are Going Away — But Your System Doesn’t Have To

Honeywell Eclipse no longer sells some legacy flame safeguard and burner controllers (like Veri-Flame and Multi-Flame). The good news: direct replacements are still available from Fireye — the original manufacturer of many of these Eclipse-labeled products.

Plug & Play Lower Cost Same Listings

What’s Happening

If you’re replacing a legacy Eclipse controller, you may see new branding, new color, and updated part numbers.

Eclipse discontinued sales of certain legacy flame safeguard and burner controllers. However, many of those same devices continue under Fireye branding. That means you can still purchase like-for-like replacements without turning a simple swap into a full redesign.

Why It Matters

Faster turnaround and fewer surprises.

  • Save time with plug-and-play replacements
  • Save money by replacing only necessary components (not the whole system)
  • Reduce downtime by keeping the same form factor and compatibility

What’s Changed

Mostly labeling, naming, and part numbers.

  • Brand: Eclipse -> Fireye (reflecting the manufacturer)
  • Color: previously green, now red
  • Product names:
    • Veri-Flame -> SB Series
    • Multi-Flame -> Multi-Burner / MB Series
    • Peek-A-Flame name removed part numbers still include PF
  • Part numbers: sometimes VF -> SB; other times entirely new numbers (MB-series)

What Hasn’t Changed

The important stuff stays the same.

  • Function: Fireye branded units perform the same core functions
  • Dimensions: same mounting footprint and slots
  • Compatibility: modules and scanners are backwards compatible
  • Mix & match: Eclipse and Fireye components can be used together on the same system
  • Listings: same UL and FM ratings

Replacement Guide

Eclipse to Fireye Cross-Reference Guide

Use this guide to translate legacy Honeywell Eclipse naming (Veri-Flame, Multi-Flame, Peek-A-Flame) to current Fireye branding, identify common part-number pattern changes, and confirm compatibility before ordering.

Name / Series Translations

Fast decoding for what you’ll see on labels and quotes.
Veri-Flame -> SB Series Multi-Flame -> MB Series Multi-Burner -> MB Series Peek-A-Flame -> “PF” in part number

Most changes you’ll notice are naming/branding. Function and fit are designed to remain consistent for like-for-like replacements.

Common Part-Number Patterns

Rules of thumb to narrow the replacement quickly.
  • VF -> SB: Some legacy “VF” items map by prefix change to “SB” equivalents.
  • MB prefix: Legacy Multi-Flame replacements frequently start with MB.
  • PF tag: Peek-A-Flame branding may disappear, but PF often remains in the part number.

Note: Some models use entirely new part numbers—always confirm module/scanner specifics before ordering.

3 matches
Legacy Eclipse (Old) Fireye (New) Family / Series Notes / What to Verify
VF-XXXX-XXXX SB-XXXX-XXXX Veri-Flame -> SB Example row. Confirm voltage, subbase, and module type before ordering.
MF-XXXX-XXXX MB-XXXX-XXXX Multi-Flame -> MB Example row. Confirm number of burners, scanner type, and wiring harness compatibility.
PAF-XXXX — Peek-A-Flame Branding may drop “Peek-A-Flame”; look for PF in the part number and confirm scanner model.

Pro Tip

Before ordering, match the controller family (SB/MB), verify voltage, confirm the scanner/module type, and ensure the replacement retains required UL/FM listings for the application.
