De Dietrich GT116A

Robert_H

Anyone know where I can find a copy of a De Dietrich GT116A manual. I've looked in my usual places, no help. And no "discontinued models" section at De Dietrich. The unit was manufactured 03/12. I'm going to do an annual service and I would like to read up on it as this the first I've run across.

Thanks

Robert

What burner is on it? This model does appear in the Beckett and Riello OEM Spec manuals………………

Perhaps in a basement or boiler room in Canada

It'sIt's a Riello and it is in the guide so at least I have the basic information

I'mI'm assuming that this is a positive pressure heat exchanger. But I wouldn't mind knowing for sure

You got a point, if I go look around that basement I might find it there

I find that many boiler companies do not change their boiler design that much over the years. So unless the GT 210 is a drastically new product on the market, I feel that the GT 116 will be very similar. You will want to know the burner model information because that is the more important part of the maintenance of any oil fired boiler. Look over this information for the boiler breakdown. Page 33 has the maintenance procedure.

I will bet you dollars to donuts that the maintenance on the heat exchanger if the GT 116 and the GT 210 is very similar.

The older Slant-fin Eutectic was a rebranded De Detrich

thanks! I looked up the Eutectic and sure enough it looks like the same unit. Although the Eutectic manual is better, at least, it includes combustion and draft data which is not included in the Detrich manuals.
