Venting versatility no chimney required
The sealed combustion Victory VSPH boiler does not require a chimney. It fits easily in a closet size space and may be vented directly through a wall. Since it draws combustion air directly from the outdoors, its fresh air requirements will not interfere with interior design. It’s ideal for homes, apartments, con­dos and any application where a chimney may not be practical or where an old chimney has deteriorated. It saves construction costs and allows more living space. A wide variety of options permit you to select the most prac­tical and economical venting method. Consult installation instructions for complete details.
The Victory VSPH boiler operates in total isolation
from household air. The combustion process is
“sealed” inside the boiler, with intake air and exhaust
pipes connected directly to the outdoors. Venting may
be through the wall or through the roof (far right).

Comfort and peace of mind for your family
Heat your home with confidence with a modern new Victory VSPH boiler from Slant/Fin. High efficiency operation keeps fuel costs low. And its sealed com­bustion design gives you remarkable comfort, safety and peace of mind. The Victory VSPH runs so quietly, you will hardly know it’s on, even if it is located near your living area. When installed with an optional Slant/Fin indirect water heater, you can also enjoy abundant hot water for your kitchen, bath and laundry.
Sealed combustion makes your home more comfortable
Your home will be more comfortable with a Victory VSPH boiler because it does not use household air for combustion. Two 3-inch pipes connect the boiler through an exterior wall to the outdoors. One pipe draws in fresh outside air for combustion while the other expels exhaust directly to the outdoors, without ever disrupting the comfort of your living area. An ordinary natural draft boiler typically draws 20 to 60 cubic feet of warm household air per minute from your living areas. This air is replaced by cold outside air that is literally sucked in through tiny cracks and openings around doors, windows and elsewhere. This makes you chilly and causes your boiler to run longer, resulting in higher fuel bills. The Victory VSPH boiler’s combustion process is totally isolated from the air in your home. A properly installed system has no open flame and no vent system component that permits exhaust or flame to “back up” into the house. When the alternative non­direct venting method is chosen, inside air is used for combustion.
Cast-iron design for proven long life and reliability
The Victory VSPH is America’s best built sealed com­bustion gas boiler -- backed by a lifetime limited war­ranty. Cast-iron is recognized by heating professionals everywhere as the longest lasting, most durable heat exchanger material. Boilers made with stainless steel, aluminum or copper are typically more prone to serv­ice problems and, reflecting their relatively short life expectancy, generally carry a much shorter warranty.
High efficiency keeps fuel costs low
All Victory VSPH models have been awarded Energy Star certification by the US government for their fuel saving performance. With AFUE to 86.1%, Victory VSPH provides high efficiency heating that will keep fuel costs low. A new Victory VSPH boiler can save 30% or more compared to a typical old boiler operating at 60% efficiency.
Ordinary boilers consume warm household air which causes infiltration of chilly outdoor air to replace it.

Built for performance and reliability
Advanced design cast-iron heat exchanger extends boiler life
The cast-iron boiler sections are produced on state-of-the-art computerized machining centers to extremely critical tolerances. Superior heat transfer properties permit use of smaller, more compact heat exchanger sections. The flue passage design, thermal pin pattern and consistent wall thickness ensure uniform heat transfer with less thermal strain and metal fatigue.
Avoid leaks with durable metal push nipples
Only metal push nipples are used to join the cast­iron sections. These push nipples expand and con­tract uniformly with the cast-iron sections for superi­or, leak-free performance and longer life. In many ordinary boilers, cheaper rubber or plastic gaskets are substituted for metal push nipples and could deteriorate and leak.
Speedy, self-sealing vent connection
Flue connector has an integral seal that is compati­ble with Saf-T Vent EZ Seal®vent components. Integral seals speed vent installation. With EZ Seal components, no RTV sealant and no curing time are required, so the boiler may be started immedi­ately. EZ Seal vent components won’t seat incor­rectly, so you reduce the risk of accidental flue gas or condensate leakage. For use of other vent com­ponent brands, see installation instructions. Air intake utilizes PVC or galvanized pipe.
Unitized air intake-vent terminal
Designed specifically for use with the Victory VSPH boiler, the combination air intake-vent terminal is versatile and attractive. It fits walls from 31⁄2" to 12" thick. Included with every boiler.
Integrated boiler control optimizes boiler performance
The electronic control was designed specifically to optimize the operation of the Victory VSPH boiler. It monitors the status of boiler components and controls the sequence of operation, including pre­and post-purge periods, trial for ignition and lock­out. Five indicator lights verify normal operation and provide diagnostic information when flashing.
Increased efficiency with insulated base assembly
The Victory VSPH base assembly is constructed of heavy gauge aluminized steel. Thick refractory insulation surrounds the combustion chamber, increasing efficiency. One piece stainless steel burners with special port construction resist flame lift and flashback.

More hot water for your kitchen, bath and laundry.
For a large reserve of hot water for your family all year long, your installer can provide a Slant/Fin Model WH indirect-fired water heater. It’s connected just like a heating zone to the Victory VSPH boiler and will store between 30 and 80 gallons of hot water. Tapping the boiler’s heating capacity, the Slant/Fin water heater offers far better efficiency, faster recovery and longer life than an ordinary direct-fired water heater. The 40 gallon model, for instance, delivers 195 gallons of hot water per hour!
