Water Flow

 – Minimum 0.3 GPM per kW water flow is required through boiler. 

 

Design Temperature Rise

 – Typical radiant floor system should be designed at 12° to 15° F. 

 

Application

 – Low temperature, low pressure, radiant underfloor heating systems.  This model includes factory 

installed temperature sensing staging. 

 

Comment

 – If this application is for traditional hydronic heating requiring temperatures greater than 160

 F and 

capacities larger than shown above, contact factory for other Electro-Boiler product series. 

 

In this approximate sizing the EB-M*-** model series is fully modulating and designed for 
temperatures up to 180° F.  The EB-M* and EB-W* also have outdoor reset options and other features. 

 

Accessories –

 Attached BL001 lists various accessory or option items which are not part of basic Electro-Boiler. 

 
 

Note: 

This product meets the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
