Commitment

For

your

look
to
Burnham.
Burnham has
over 100
years
experience
producing
residen-
tial and
commercial
boilers.
Our
continuing

to
quality
and
excellence has

job.
The
Burnham@ V9
Series cast
iron
boiler represents
one
of the
finest
designs in
commercial
boilers.
The V9 is
quality
through
and
through. It is
a wet base, forced
draft design which
means
there
is
no
need for
a special base and
combustion
chamber or mechanical
equipment
to artificially induce
proper
draft. Because
the boiler is
a
forced
draft unit, it
provides
optimum draft for
controlled
combustion, thus
eliminating the
need for high
chimneys. And with
a
rear
smoke
outlet, the V9 requires
only six and one half feet
of vertical
clearance from floor
to ceiling.
The
sectional construction
of the
V9
boiler
makes it
ideal for
use
in
installations
where
the boiler room
is not
easily accessible.
In
addition to being
shipped as
individual
sections the boiler is
available with factory-assembled
sections or as
a completely
pack-
aged unit. The
packaged
unit is
fastened
to a steel skid to facilitate
lifting
with
a
fork
truck or crane
and
will fit
through
a standard 56 x
80
inch
doorwav. The
skid can
serve as the
boiier
foundation,
replacing
the need for a
concrete
pad.
A factory fire-test is
available
on all
packaged
units.
All regular

areas are located
on the left

allowing
the

boiler to be in-
stalled 9" from
