Slant/Fin Oil-Fired Boilers Boiler User Manual


 
The best components, plus expert Slant/Fin
workmanship and integrity, create incomparable
dependability.
There’s no better built oil-fired boiler than Intrepid. Every compo-
nent we use in the Intrepid boiler is of the highest quality. Heat
exchanger sections, for example, are made of only the finest cast
iron, finished to exact specifications on automated high precision
machining centers. Final assembly of each boiler is performed by
hand.
Multiple checks are made for quality and overall boiler integrity.
Every boiler section, for instance, is tested under pressure at
least 8 times the normal residential operating pressure.
Repetitive testing -- individual sections, assembled heat
exchanger and completed boiler -- ensure the leak-free integrity
of every boiler shipped.
Burner performance optimized for each specific
model. Every burner factory tested.
The Intrepid boiler is equipped with an advanced design Beckett,
Carlin, or optional Heatwise or Riello oil burner. The burner for
each Intrepid boiler is custom manufactured to Slant/Fin specifi-
cations. It is engineered for each specific model to provide
smooth, clean, efficient operation under all job conditions. The
flame is up to 200°F hotter and up to 35% more efficient than
older non-retention head burners.
For reliability, every burner is factory tested before shipping. It’s
given a full combustion test and fine tuned for optimal perform-
ance on the specific size boiler it is mounted on. Final adjust-
ments are easily made by the installer, if necessary, based on
the unique chimney draft conditions of each individual house.
For dependability, metal push nipples; name brand
controls and circulator pump
Slant/Fin uses only metal push nipples that expand and contract
with the individual boiler sections that they connect. The rubber
gaskets that are substituted for push nipples in many other boil-
ers could deteriorate. This could result in water leaking from the
boiler and major repair bills.
Dependable performance is further ensured with nationally
known brands of controls and circulator pumps. All controls are
mounted and fully wired. Steam models include float type or
electronic low water cut-off.
Lifetime limited warranty. The Intrepid boiler is engineered and built for a long, dependable life. Hot
water models are covered under Slant/Fin’s lifetime limited warranty. Steam models have a limited ten-year
warranty. Contact Slant/Fin for details.
Extended hot water heater coil performs better.
Metal push nipples outperform rubber gaskets.
