V9
Series
Your Commercial Heating Solution!
Available in ten sizes with gross output ratings from 347 to
1900 MBH, the V9 Series fires gas, oil or combination gas/oil
and is available equipped with either steam or water trim. The
product meets the energy efficiency requirements of ASHRAE
90.1 with combustion efficiencies up to 86%.
Cast iron construction, ease of assembly, two venting options,
and stringent testing methods make the V9 Series boiler by
Burnham Commercial your commercial heating solution.
American-Made Cast Iron ConstructionÐ
BC25-HSi
Burnham CommercialÕ s unique
BC25-HSi cast iron has an extremely
high silicon content, making it
stronger and more flexible. It offers
better thermal shock resistance and
greater heat transfer capabilities than
other cast iron products. BC25-HSi's
properties allow Burnham Commercial
to maintain the highest level of quality
from start to finish, and provide a
product that is optimized for hydronic
.
heating applications
• Manufactured with Quality
Cast iron sections are poured at
Burnham Foundry, LLC in Zanesville
Ohio. The foundry uses state-of
the-art technology and production
techniques which ensures the availability of high quality
boiler sections.
• Cast Iron nipple Difference
While gaskets used by other
manufacturers can break down
from oils and contaminants, the
V9's cast iron nipples remain
unaffected, ensuring long life and
eliminating costly repairs.
The V9 section assembly includes precision machined cast
iron nipples that expand and contract along with the
sections they join, providing integrity to the entire
assembly. Additionally, cast iron nipples resist boiler flue
gases and petroleum based chemicals, including corrosion
inhibitors, pump lubricants and antifreeze.

Installation & Service Flexibility
The cast iron sectional design of the V9 boiler makes it easy to
maneuver through doorways and into the boiler room. In addi-
tion to being shipped as loose sections, the boiler is available
with factory-assembled sections or as a completely packaged
and fire-tested unit. Packaged units, fastened to a steel skid,
are easily maneuvered through standard 36" x 80" doorways.
• Hassle-free Section Assembly
V9 boiler sections have reinforced lugs that are used
to assemble the sections with individual draw rods
resulting in fast, strain-free assembly.
The sections can be assembled using two common
toolsÑ a 3/4" drive ratchet with a 1-1/16" deep socket
and wrench. The sections are surface ground to ensure
smooth surface mating. An elastic sealant and fiberglass
rope are used on all section joints for a completely sealed
and pressure-tight assembly.
• extensive Testing Methods
Each boiler section is hydrostatically tested at 2-1/2 times
the rated working pressure at the foundry. Factory
assembled sections are tested at 1.5 times the rated
working pressure.
• Rear or Top Venting
As a forced draft boiler, the V9
provides optimum draft for controlled
efficiency, eliminating the need for
high chimneys or induced draft fans.
A unique feature of the V9 boiler is it
can be vented from the rear or the
top. This enables easy chimney or
sidewall venting for maximum
installation flexibility.
Top outlet venting saves floor space
and reduces installation time and
materials. A plugged tapping is
provided to take flue outlet pressure
readings.
