May 4, 2007

American Standard announced it has returned to its roots and is introducing new premium non-condensing oil- and gas-fired cast iron water boilers.

“We want to help our family of distributors and dealers capture a share of the growing radiant field,” said Jamie Byrne, American Standard vice president of sales. “Boilers are powering many must-have amenities in today’s home, including heated towel bars, shower systems and snow melt systems, as well as radiant heating.”

The new oil-fired boilers have a unique 3-pass cast iron heat exchanger, designed to resist thermal stress, maximize heat transfer and deliver ENERGY STAR®-qualified efficiency performance with up to 86.7% AFUE. A customized Riello burner is finely tuned to optimize combustion.

The American Standard gas-fired boilers have single-pass design, maximizing heat transfer and fuel efficiency up to 84.3% AFUE for direct vent and 83.6% AFUE for natural draft models.  The stainless steel tubular burner resists corrosion for long life and delivers optimal combustion.
