Slant Fin Victory VSPH Series Gas Boiler Review




The Slant Fin Victory VSPH Series Gas Boiler is available in five sizes with inputs from 60,000 to 180,000 Btuh with efficiencies between 85.1 to 86.1% AFUE. The Victory VSPH boilers are sealed combustion direct vent boilers this means there is no connection between the air inside your home and the air used for combustion. In a boiler that does not have sealed combustion air is drawn in from the home to support combustion typically from 20 to 60 cubic feet per minute. This air, is heated air from your home that is replaced with cold air drawn in from outside. The efficiency coupled with the sealed combustion direct venting make the Slant Fin Victory VSPH Series Gas Boilers an Energy Star rated Boiler. Rebates of up to $200 are available under the Appliance Stimulus Package, Grants up to $6500 are available through the Weatherization Assistance Program to those who qualify, and a 30% Income Tax Credit up to $1500 of the cost to purchase and install a new energy efficient heating system are available.

The Slant Fin Victory VSPH Series Gas Boilers have cast iron heat exchangers with the sections connected with push nipples. The heat exchangers use thermal pins in the flue to transfer heat more effectively to the water. The Victory VSPH Series feature an integrated electronic control, which oversees safety as well as the operation of the boiler and provides optimization, and diagnostic indicator functions. The combustion chamber has a thick refractory insulation surrounding the combustion chamber and there is insulation under the jacket surrounding the heat exchanger to minimize heat loss. The Slant Fin Victory VSPH Series Gas Boilers do not require a chimney although an existing chimney can be used for a chase for the flue and air inlet, they can also be vented through the wall or through the roof making the Victory VSPH Series a great choice for both new construction and replacements.
