GAS-FIRED HOT WATER BOILER
Quality Home
Heating You Can
Count On
If you're investigating a heating system for your new home, or
if you're replacing an old, inefficient, worn-out boiler, a Burnham
Series 2 gas-fired hot water boiler
is the home heating investment
that's right for you.
Burnham's Series 2 boiler
offers you all the benefits of
hot water heat together with
the advantages of quality cast
iron construction and advanced
engineering. When you specify
Burnham, you get home heating
that is comfortable, economical,
and reliable — all from a boiler
that's safe, quiet, and field proven
in thousands of installations.
High Efficiency
Model Available
The high efficiency version
of the Series 2, the Series 2H
provides Annual Fuel Utilization
Efficiencies (AFUE) of 84% and
is available in four sizes from 62164 MBH input. In addition to all
the features included in the
Series 2, the Series 2H features
an intermittent ignition system
and stainless steel flue baffles for
even greater heat transfer and
efficiency.
Make a Smart Investment
There are few investments
you'll ever make that are more
important than your heating
system. With the guidance of a
qualified heating contractor, you
can easily customize your heating system and choose options
that add comfort and value to
your home. Burnham's Series 2
makes heating your home with
gas a practical investment today
and one you'll appreciate over the
years.
Start Saving Now!
Many old boilers operate at
around 60% efficiency. This
means that 40% of your fuel dollars are wasted. A Series 2 boiler,
with an AFUE of up to 84%, can
reduce your heating bills by as
much as 28%. Your Series 2 boiler
virtually pays for itself in a few
short years by saving money
spent on fuel the old system is
wasting.
Use the following formula (illustrated at bottom) to compare
the Series 2 boiler to the 60%
efficiency of a typical 20-year-old
boiler.
In the example shown, the
homeowner could realize a $429
savings the first year alone. Check
with your contractor to calculate
your savings potential.
Abundant Hot Water
2
Today's homeowners need
more hot water than ever before, for showers, dishwashers,
washing machines, bathtubs, etc.
By combining the Series
2 boiler with
Burnham's
Alliance™
indirect-fired
water heater,
you'll have
sufficient hot
water to meet
all your needs.
The Alliance
water heater
utilizes the
high heating capability of your boiler to
provide year-round hot water at a
very low operating cost.
Built to Last
Made in the USA — Every
Burnham® boiler is made in the
U.S.A. To ensure the highest level of quality all Burnham boiler
castings are produced "in-house"
at our foundry in Zanesville,
Ohio. Burnham is the only boiler
manufacturer that can make such
a claim.
Operating Features
• Rugged cast iron sections
Superior pin design extracts
the maximum amount of heat,
reducing fuel consumption and
saving you money.
• Steel couplings
At Burnham we use steel couplings called "nipples" to join our
cast iron sections. Steel nipples
increase the longevity of

your boiler. They are not affected

push nipples in some competitors'
boilers.
• Step-opening gas valve
This type of gas valve enables
the boiler to start on low fire and
continue on to high fire safely and
smoothly providing quiet ignition
and long life.
• Blocked vent switch
This switch safely shuts
down the boiler in the event the
chimney or vent system becomes
blocked, by sensing excessive
heat exiting the drafthood.
• Fuel saving vent damper
This automatically closes the
flue to prevent heat from escaping
up the chimney after the burner
shuts off and reopens it again
before the burner comes on.
• Stainless steel burners
Stainless steel, unlike aluminized steel, ensure long life with
no rusting.
1. 202 only. Dimension 'G' includes
allowance for 4" x 3" reducer
furnished with boiler.
• Honeywell controls
High quality brand name
controls assure reliability
and availability.
• Combustible floor certified
The Series 2 boiler can be
installed safely on most floors
in your home without worry. No
extra cost floor shield to buy.

• Flame roll-out switch
If the flue-ways within the
boiler become blocked or restricted, the flame roll-out switch will
automatically shut off gas flow to
prevent combustion byproducts
from spilling into your home.
• Concealed Controls
All controls are safety hidden
under the boiler jacket to prevent
damage and tampering.
