Commercial Gas-Fired Boiler
Limited Warranty
Ten year warranty to assure your complete satisfaction.
Westinghouse warrants each Commercial Gas-Fired Boiler to be
free from defects in material and workmanship according to the
following terms, conditions, and time periods. UNLESS OTHERWISE
NOTED THESE WARRANTIES COMMENCE ON THE DATE OF
INSTALLATION.
COVERAGE
A. During the first year after installation, Westinghouse warrants
that it will repair or replace, at its option, any defective boiler
or malfunctioning component thereof that is found to have failed
due to manufacturer's defect (with exception to the blower motor,
which will have a limited warranty of 3 years). Westinghouse will
NOT accept claims from the purchaser for labor costs incurred as
a result of the repair, replacement, removal, or reinstallation of a
boiler or any component thereof. It is expressly agreed between
Westinghouse and the purchaser that repair or replacement are the
exclusive remedies of the purchaser.
B. During the second through fifth year after the date of installation,
Westinghouse will repair or replace, at its option, without charge,
any defective boiler heat exchanger found to have failed due to
leaking. Westinghouse will NOT accept claims from the purchaser
for labor costs incurred as a result of the repair, replacement,
removal, or reinstallation of a boiler or any component thereof.
C. During the sixth through tenth year after the date of installation,
Westinghouse will repair or replace, at its option, any defective
boiler heat exchanger found to have failed due to leaking at a
cost to the purchaser equal to the following percentages of the
manufacturer's list price in effect at the date of replacement:

No other component of the boiler will be replaced during this period.
Westinghouse will NOT accept claims from the purchaser for labor
costs incurred as a result of the repair, replacement, removal, or
reinstallation of a boiler or any component thereof. It is expressly
agreed between Westinghouse and the purchaser that repair or
replacement are the exclusive remedies of the purchaser.
D. Should a defect or malfunction result in a leakage of water
within the above-stated warranty periods due to defective material
or workmanship, malfunction, or failure to comply with the above
warranty, such as defects or malfunctioning having been verified by
an authorized Westinghouse representative, then Westinghouse will
replace the defective or malfunctioning boiler with a replacement
boiler of the nearest comparable model available at the time of
replacement.
E. If Westinghouse is unable to repair or replace a boiler so as to
conform to this warranty after a reasonable number of attempts,
Westinghouse will then provide, at its option, a suitable replacement
product manufactured by Westinghouse. These remedies are the
purchaser's exclusive remedies for breach of warranty.
F. If at the time of a request for service the purchaser cannot
provide a copy of the original sales receipt or the warranty card
registration, the warranty period for the boiler shall then be deemed
to have commenced thirty (30) days after the date of manufacture
of the boiler and NOT the date of installation of the boiler.
G. This warranty extends only to boilers utilized in closed loop
heating applications that have been properly installed based upon
the manufacturer's installation instructions. The use of the boiler as
a potable water-heating appliance shall void any coverage under
this warranty.

condition.
3. Check all condensate lines to confirm that all condensate drains
properly from the boiler.
4. Use the boiler in a closed system with a properly sized and
installed thermal expansion tank.
5. Make provisions so if the boiler or any component part thereto
should leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to
the area in which it is installed.
6. Operate the boiler at water pressures not exceeding the working
pressure shown on the rating plate.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS
This limited warranty will not cover:
1. All labor charges incurred by any person in connection with the
examination or replacement of parts claimed by the purchaser to
be defective.
2. Any failed components of the heat system not manufactured by
Westinghouse as part of the boiler.

introduced into the boiler or its components including, but not
limited to, the outside tubes of the heat exchanger.
9. Damages, malfunctions, or failures resulting from improper
installation, failure to operate the boiler at pressures not exceeding
the working pressure shown on the rating plate, or failure to maintain
and operate the boiler in accordance with the printed instructions
that accompany the unit.
10. Failure to operate the boiler in a closed system with a properly
sized expansion tank.
11. Any damage or failure resulting from improper water chemistry.
