temperature.
JACKET
• Heavy gauge steel with baked enamel finish
over bonderized undercoat. Not approved for
installation on combustible flooring.
EASY TO INSTALL BURNER
• Three bolt mounting of burner assures easy
installation.
BAROMETRIC DRAFT REGULATOR
CSA CERTIFIED AND ASME RATED T&P
RELIEF VALVE
