A NEW ANGLE ON SERVICING FROM GAH THERMECON! (No 1)
GAH Thermecon have come up with another set of clever ideas to make life easier when installing and servicing their Select and Option oil boilers. Firstly, they have introduced a 45o angle cutaway with access plate across the top and front of the water jacket, which provides greater access for cleaning, locating baffles, and viewing the burner. This new angle on servicing for models from 40,000 to 120,000 Btu/h is unique, and has been patented by GAH Thermecon.

 

The second new innovation at GAH Thermecon has been the introduction of concentric flues on all models for quicker installation on site. GAH Thermecon believes that the new flues are ‘better all round’, with installers able to use the same standard core drills as for gas flues. Finished in white with stainless steel terminals, the new flues match the styling of both the Select and Option models, and feature ‘O’ ring self seals for a tight and reliable fit. Furthermore, all boilers are supplied with interchangeable blanking plates for a choice of rear, side or vertical balanced flue outlet.

 

Last but not least, GAH Thermecon has also introduced an easier way to work on the burner. From October this year, Select and Option boilers will include a 90o snorkel tube adapter which connects the burner and snorkel system for either balanced or conventional flue. This means that the fire-retardant snorkel is no longer scrunched up against the casing when fixed to the burner, alleviating wear and tear, and allowing simple ‘pull off /push on’ connection.

These new developments are being applied across the range of Select
floor standing and Option boilers. Select floor standing models have outputs from 40,000 to a massive 300,000 Btu/h, all of which are suitable for conventional or balanced flue. Models up to 120,000 Btu/h can be sited beneath a fixed work surface as they feature front servicing. With eight models available, the Select incorporates a deluxe control panel concealed behind a flush-fitting panel, with clearly visible neon indicators. A choice of internal and external wall mounted models (40,000 – 80,000 Btu/h) completes the Select range.

As an alternative to Select models, GAH Thermecon also have the Option range, which features a full height door, and internal control panel with manual reset limit stat. Outputs and sizes for the Option range are identical to the Select floor standing range, and an Option system boiler (60,000 – 150,000 Btu/h) means sealed systems are catered for as well. System boilers incorporate either a 10 or 20 litre expansion vessel, circulating pump, pressure gauge/relief valve built in at the factory. A filling loop is also supplied.

 

All GAH Thermecon oil boilers are supplied with neoprene oil lines tested to a 20 bar pressure rating, isolation tap, and filter with fittings. Grundfos pumps are standard and have gate type isolation valves. Electrical components are pre-wired for quick and easy plug-in installation. Guarantee – parts and labour, 2 years burner components (excluding nozzle), 3 years optional extended warranty, 5 years exchanger.
