Replace Caravan

in THE MAIN WALL

I have to replace two SlantFin Caravan hot water boilers, 375 MBH each.

It seems the only option is a Peerless GM series, which is a nice boiler. However, this boiler does not have any tappings for DHW, and I would like to have that option.

Is there a boiler out there that I am overlooking?

    Are you talking tankless heaters or indirect heaters? I am guessing indirects.

    They have a 5 Caravan boilers for heat. 2 Laars copper fin boilers with indirect tanks for DHW.

    The building wants me to replace two of the 5 boilers. Instead of looking for similar atmospheric vented, cast iron boilers, I am thinking about installing direct vent or mod-con boilers, if I can find a suitable place to vent them outside. I am looking at the Lochinvar Knight and the commercial Burnham Alpine.

    Edit: I would like the option of using them for DHW by adding a zone to the indirects.
