1 -  BOILER RATINGS & CAPACITIES

This is gas-fi red direct vent cast aluminum hot water boiler. Cast aluminum heat exchanger means better heat transfer 

and thermal storage than similarly sized cast iron boilers, which results in higher effi ciency.  Heating system water 

absorbs large amounts of heat from cast aluminum heat exchanger, cooling fl ue gases and causing condensation.  Sealed 

combustion, premix gas burner, and low fl ame temperature means drastically reduced CO and NOx emissions, which 

contribute to cleaner and healthier environment.

Appliance, unlike normal residential atmospheric and induced draft units, takes its combustion air directly from outdoors 

(sealed combustion) and does not compete with building occupants for fresh air. Sealed combustion (also known as “direct 

vent”) is safest and best way to obtain plenty of clean combustion air. Forced draft fan draws in outside combustion air to 

mix with gas, which fl ows into pre-mix burner and combusts. Fan forces resulting fl ue gases from boiler unit and provides 

positive removal of fl ue gases from building through PVC and CPVC vent pipes.
