The BW9 is a gas fired direct vent condensing hot water
boiler with cast aluminum heat exchanger sections. A
revolutionary cast aluminum heat exchanger means better
heat transfer and thermal storage than similarly sized cast
iron boiler, which results in higher efficiency. The heating
system water absorbs large amounts of heat from the cast
aluminum heat exchanger, cooling the flue gases and
causing condensation. Sealed combustion, premix gas
burner, and low flame temperature means drastically
reduced CO and NOx emissions, which contribute to a
cleaner and healthier environment.
The BW9, unlike normal residential atmospheric and induced draft
boilers, takes its combustion air directly from the outdoors (sealed
combustion) and does not compete with building occupants for
fresh air. Sealed combustion (also known as “direct vent”) is the
safest and best way to obtain plenty of clean combustion air. The
induced draft fan draws in the outside combustion air, then takes the
cooler flue gases from the heat exchanger and provides a positive
removal of the flue gases from the building through inexpensive and
readily available PVC and CPVC pipes.
FEATURES
RANGE OF CAPACITIES —Three sizes ranging from 50,000
through 100,000 Btuh input.
COMPLETELY PACKAGED —Each boiler is completely
assembled, including all controls (except room thermostat). All
necessary wiring is factory installed. The boiler is ready for gas
piping, room thermostat, and electrical power connections as
shipped. Circulator is shipped pre-wired with 6 ft bx conduit for
easy installation for supply side pumping.
VENTING —This boiler is direct vented with PVC and CPVC pipe.
See the Installation Instructions for common venting requirements.
ALUMINUM SECTIONS —These sections speed heat transfer to
the boiler water. With faster thermal response, greater comfort and
economy are achieved.
PRE-MIX BURNER —Provides quiet operation and improved
combustion efficiency.
CONTROLS —Integrated Boiler Control provides safe,
dependable operation of burners. Factory-installed safety
components provide maximum safety against overheating,
pressure buildup, and low-water operation.
SECTIONS TESTED —Each section is hydrostatically tested to
50 psig. Individual sections are tested to 125 psig at factory.
Assembled sections are tested to 75 psig at the factory. The
maximum allowable pressure is 50 psig for hot water boilers.
WARRANTY —The aluminum sections are covered by a limited
15-year warranty on the entire assembly. Circulator pump is
covered by a limited 3-year warranty. All other parts are covered
by a 1-year limited warranty.
Gas input ratings are for elevations up to 2000 ft. In the USA, for elevations above 2000 ft., reduce input per the charts supplied in the high altitude derate kits.
In Canada, boilers may be used at high altitude by using a certified field conversion kit.

MODELS BW4 and BW5
°
The modern design and attractive appearance of the models
BW4 and BW5 Oil-Fired Water Boilers make them ideal for
installation in any area. The boilers are shipped fully
assembled and wired, including all controls (except barometric
draft regulator). The compact 22-gage steel cabinet has a
baked-on enamel paint finish for durability. A 1-in. layer of
thermal insulation is applied inside the jacket for protection
and thermal efficiency. The flame retention head burner
provides efficient fuel usage. A wet base cast iron block with thermal
pins surrounds the combustion area for better heat transfer from flue
gases to water.
FEATURES
BAROMETRIC DRAFT CONTROL —The factory supplied
barometric draft control can easily be installed in the vent pipe for
optimum draft and combustion efficiency.
CONTROLS —Factory-wired controls on units with tankless hot
water coil include a triple aquastat relay with high/low limit
protection and circulator control.
COMBINATION TRANSFORMER AQUASTAT —A 24-v
transformer is combined with the aquastat assembly. The
transformer will supply power efficient to power a 3-zone system
on BW5 models. Factory installed combination pressure/
temperature gage and a pressure relief valve.
COIL OPTIONS —Units are available with or without tankless
heater coil. The coil provides a supply of hot water for normal
domestic purposes or an accessory tankless heater coil can be
added later.
FACTORY INSTALLED FEATURES —A factory-installed drain is
provided should the boiler ever need to be drained. Oil primary
control prevents boiler in operation in the event of flame loss.
SECTIONS TESTED —Each section is hydrostatically tested to 50
psig. Individual sections are tested to 125 psig at factory.
Assembled sections are tested to 75 psig at the factory. The
maximum allowable pressure is 50 psig for hot water boilers.
EASE OF INSTALLATION —Circulator is shipped pre-wired
with 6 ft bx conduit for easy installation for supply side pumping.
WARRANTY —The cast-iron sections are covered by a nonprorated 20-year warranty on the entire assembly. Oil burner and
circulator pump covered by 3-year warranty. All other parts are
covered by a 1-year limited warranty.
SOLENOID OIL VALVE —This provides cleaner burning and
quieter operation. Valve is included on all burner types.
SWING BURNER DOOR —This unique design offers uninhibited
access for set-ups, service, and maintaining the burner. Routine
cleaning is also much easier.
