Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, U.S. Boiler Company, Inc.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania hereby extends the following limited warranties to the original
owner of a residential grade water or steam boiler or U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. supplied
parts and/or accessories manufactured and shipped on or after July 1, 2008:
ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON RESIDENTIAL GRADE BOILERS
AND PARTS / ACCESSORIES SUPPLIED BY U.S. BOILER COMPANY, INC.
U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. warrants to the original owner that its residential grade
water and steam boilers and parts/accessories comply at the time of manufacture with
recognized hydronic industry standards and requirements then in effect and will be
free of defects in material and workmanship under normal usage for a period of one
year from the date of original installation. If any part of a residential grade boiler or
any part or accessory provided by U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. is found to be defective
in material or workmanship during this one year period, U.S. Boiler Company, Inc.
will, at its option, repair or replace the defective part.
HEAT EXCHANGER WARRANTIES
U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. warrants to the original owner that the heat exchanger of its
residential grade boilers will remain free from defects in material and workmanship
under normal usage for time period specified in the chart below of the original owner at
the original place of installation. If a claim is made under this warranty during the “No
Charge” period from the date of original installation, U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. will, at its
option, repair or replace the heat exchanger. If a claim is made under this warranty after
the expiration of the “No Charge” period from the date of original installation, U.S. Boiler
Company, Inc. will, at its option and upon payment of the pro-rated service charge set
forth below, repair or replace the heat exchanger. The service charge applicable to a
heat exchanger warranty claim is based upon the number of years the heat exchanger
has been in service and will be determined as a percentage of the retail price of the heat
exchanger model involved at the time the warranty claim is made as follows:
NOTE: If the heat exchanger involved is no longer available due to product obsolescence
or redesign, the value used to establish the retail price will be the published price as
shown in the Burnham Repair Parts Pricing where the heat exchanger last
appeared or the current retail price of the then nearest equivalent heat exchanger.
*MegaSteam Waterside Corrosion Warranty: U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. warrants the
cast iron sections of the MegaSteam boiler to resist Temperature Induced Chloride
Activated Graphitic Corrosion for a period of five years from the date of original
installation. In the event that any cast iron section of a Mega Steam boiler fails due to
this corrosion mechanism during this period, U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. will repair or
replace, at its option, the cast iron section assembly.
LIFETIME NIPPLE LEAKAGE WARRANTY
U.S. Boiler Company, Inc. warrants the cast iron and steel nipples that join the cast iron
boiler sections to be free of defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the
original owner at the original place of installation. In the event that such nipples are
found to be defective in material and workmanship during this period, U.S. Boiler
Company, Inc. will repair or replace at its option, the cast iron section assembly.
