Boiler age?

Hi all,

Looked at a church the other day that had been added on a few times. One boiler is a Kewanee boiler, a division of American Standerd. The tag had these numbers:3R3 Series 2x. The boiler can be steam or hot water and had a burner over 300,000 btu input. This boiler is out of service and needs to be removed, just curious about it's age relative to the church building.


The boiler now in use is a Rheem M# G47KWA, S# 970FNX3011. Also interested in it's age. Will post some pictures in the future as I help the church with removal and getting the system in some sort of order i.e. how can it have zone valves and zone pumps then a zone with a pump and the boiler itself having a pump for the zone valves and unzoned zones. Yes I believe the system is as confusing as that last sentence!

Are there any web sites for these manufacturers that would tell me their age?

Thanks for the help!

    I believe

    Burnham bought Kewannee in the last few years, I bet they still have the archives somewhere!!

    Take a hand wood saw...

    and cut through the boiler diagnally. This will show you the rings of age. For each ring, the boiler section survived one year... JUST KIDDING!!!

    It does have a record of birth. Follow the above recommendation and get a hold of Glen Stanton at my favorite American Blue boiler manufacturer (Burnham) and he can tell you if they have any record of its production date,
