LIMITED WARRANTY

Boilers/Water Heaters

Industrial, Commercial and Other Non-Residential Use

Th

  e “Manufacturer” warrants to the original owner at the original installation site that the heat exchanger of the Industrial, Commercial, and other 

Non-Residential Use Boiler (the “Product”) will be free from defects in material or workmanship for ten (10) years from the date of installation. 
Additional twenty one (21) year thermal shock warranty on heat exchanger. If upon examination by the Manufacturer the Product is shown to 
have a defect in material or workmanship during the warranty period, the Manufacturer will repair or replace, at its option, that part of the Product 
which is shown to be defective. All other RBI supplied Boiler/Water Heater parts are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for 
one (1) year from date of installation or 18 months from date of shipment from RBI.

Th

  e “Manufacturer” warrants to the original owner at the original installation site that the heat exchanger of the Industrial, Commercial, and other 

Non-Residential Use Water Heater (the “Product”) will be free from defects in material or workmanship for five (5) years from the date of 
installation. Additional twenty one (21) year thermal warranty on heat exchanger. If upon examination by the Manufacturer the Product is shown 
to have a defect in material or workmanship during the warranty period, the Manufacturer will repair or replace, at its option, that part of the 
Product which is shown to be defective. All other RBI supplied Boiler/Water Heater parts are warranted against defects in material and 
workmanship for one (1) year from date of installation or 18 months from date of shipment from RBI.

Th is limited warranty does not apply:
(a)  if the Product has been subjected to misuse or neglect, has been accidentally or intentionally damaged, has not been installed, 

maintained or operated in accordance with the furnished writt en instructions, or has been altered or modifi ed in any way. 

 

Th ese include but not limited to:
•  Excessive water hardness causing a lime build-up in the heat exchanger tubes is not a fault of the equipment and is not covered 

under the manufacturer’s warranty.

•  Excessive pitt ing and erosion on the inside of the heat exchanger tubes caused by high water velocity through the tubes and 

is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. (See Installation Instructions for proper pump performance.)

•  Chemical corrosion, no corrosive chemical (freon, dry cleaning chemicals, degreasing liquids, chlorine or any chemicals that 

produce hydrochloric acid) can be present in the boiler room as it rapidly destroys the heating equipment and voids the warranty.

•  All copper fi n boilers should not operate with a return water temperature less than 110°F, 43°C atmospheric combustion, 125°F, 52°C fan 

assist combustion. If a lower temperature is required, an external bypass should be installed to prevent condensation. Th

 e manufacturer’s 

warranty does not cover damage done by condensation.

(b)  to any expenses, including labor or material, incurred during removal or reinstallation of the Product or 

parts thereof.

(c)   to damage as a result of sett lement, distortion, collapse, or cracking of any foundation area, beams or pipes surrounding the Product.
