Peerless Heater Company presents...

Series TO

Forced Draft Commercial Oil, Gas or

Combination Gas/Oil Boilers

The Series TCcast iron boiler can be used in either

hol water or steam systems. The oii, _.asor combination
_.as/oil-fired boiler is available in 15sizes and is ideal for

lar_.ecommerclal applications. The Series TCboiler is
designed with forced draft firin_ to provide the highest

possible efficiencies. The boiler's _ross output ratings
range from 900 to 4,629 MBH.

Series TC boilers are constructed of ru_,ed, cast-iron,

wet-base sections with cast-in heat extraction pins that
assure durability and top performance. Hi-temperature,
flexible, _raphite port connectors, and short, individual
draw rods simpli_ installation. Front and rear flame
observation ports aid burner setup.

All Series TCboilers are available with a slandard, built-in

cast iron flue collector with integral damper and a burner
mountin_ plate with insulation block. Steel an_.le floor rails

and ceramic fiber rope seal between seclions are also
standard. Series TC boilers feature 80 psi workin_ pressure

sections. A 30 psi ASMEsafety relief valve is standard on
water boilers. Steam boilers include a t5 psi ASME side

outlet safety valve and steam _au_e All Series TCboilers
are equipped with an insulated enameled sleel jacket.

Peerless Series TC boilers are available with your

choice of Becketl, Carlin, Power Flame, Gordon Piatt or
Webster burners.
