1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Valiant FT is a condensing, forced draft appliance
utilizing a premix power burner based on a push through
design which offers several venting options. Heat output is
controlled by the venturi and zero governor gas valve,
which work together to provide seamless modulation. It is
designed for use with a fully pumped and pressurized water
system. The turndown ratio for this appliance is up to 10:1
for natural gas models VA0110, VA0155, VA0199, VA0250,
VA0299 and VA0399 and 7:1 for VA0080. This results in
the appliance automatically modulating to provide heat
outputs from 100% down to approximately 10% of rated
input for models VA0110 to VA0399, and an appliance
output from 100% down to approximately 14% of rated input
for model VA0080. The turndown for propane units is 5:1
for all models.

The Valiant FT can also be easily converted into a floor
mounted unit with the addition of a floor stand kit. The water
and gas connections may need to be re-routed from the
bottom to the top for more convenience when installing the
Valiant FT as a floor mounted unit. The overall dimensions
of the floor mounted units are as below.
