Need Boiler Rating info

Al Corelli - Agix Associates

Now don't all jump on me for not doing a heat calc. :)

The HO wants to know what the ratings are for the old boiler before we proceed with replacement strategies.

It is a US Radiator, Capitol Boiler Model US25-5 Other numbers are 177-12.

Any help with the ratings would be greatly appreciated.

Next step is a heat loss calc, I promise.

I've seen those

I believe the US25 was one of the first wet-base vertical-flue oil-burning boilers. It dates back to the late 1930s.

Go here to see the ratings for these boilers:

Gotta love that "heavy blanket of rock-wool".

just thinking about it makes me itch.

Thanks for all the help. I've printed out the list to keep in my file for the next old critter.
