Fuel cost savings can only be achieved by matching the PENSOTTI ‘S’ boiler to the true heat loss of your residence. During the past couple of decades, the trend towards improving wall and ceiling insulation levels and eliminating air infiltration by caulking and weather-stripping, has made most existing heating appliances oversized.
Reducing the firing rate of the boiler results in longer burner on-times increased A.F.U.E. and provides significant savings for the consumer. The improved A.F.U.E. of the PENSOTTI ‘S’ is highly effective heat generator when it is matched to the heatloss of your home.
P E N S O T T I B o i l e r s If the calculated load exceeds the capacity of the largest size PENSOTTI ‘S’ boiler, two or more units may be installed. Modular installations can be a sound investment leading to an increase in fuel efficiency.
Combustion Air and Ventilation If a PENSOTTI ‘S’ boiler is being used for a retrofit and is installed in a full basement with adequate infiltration for combustion air it may be installed in the usual way following accepted industry guidelines and good industry practices.
The PENSOTTI ‘S’ is a low mass boiler and care should be taken to ensure that a high volume of water should not be allowed to flood the boiler from a high volume standing cast iron system. The...

7. Chimney connectors should be free of as many 90° degree turns as possible, and be pitched upwards towards the vent. 8. It is important to note that due to the high efficiency of the PENSOTTI Model S boilers condensing temperatures in the chimney connector and venting system may be reached.
• All of the vent construction consists of suitable materials, and terminates in an approved stainless steel hood. • All of the vent piping is sealed from air leaks. The PENSOTTI ‘S’ oilfired boiler is not approved for use with a heat extractor mounted in the breeching or fluepipe. Draft Regulator The PENSOTTI ‘S’...
