Hot Water Floor Mount – Cast Iron Atmospheric Draft

Probably the most familiar option, cast iron boilers have been a reliable, time-tested design for over 100 years.   The heat exchanger is constructed of durable, long-lasting cast iron sections and push nipples.  It’s not unusual for a cast iron hot water boiler to last 25 – 30 years.  While heavy and cumbersome to install, their relative simplicity makes them easy to troubleshoot should a service situation arise.  Cast iron boilers are best suited to high-temperature, low-mass and high-temperature, high-mass heating system designs.  Due to the use of cast iron, return water temperatures need to be at least 140 Degrees F or else the risk of “boiler shock” and corrosion can occur.  This is not a problem with a properly designed system; return temperatures generally exceed 150 Degrees F.
