I am trying to determine the age of my Burnham Boiler. It has cracked and I am trying to qualify for assistance/rebate for replacing it. It is a V-74-T, SN 27042189. Thanks for your time and help, david. Rao Vallabhaneni Says: December 3rd, 2016 at 12:19 am. In my house, Oil Fired Burnham Boiler was installed in 1997. One boiler is a Kewanee boiler, a division of American Standerd. The tag had these numbers:3R3 Series 2x. The boiler can be steam or hot water and had a burner over 300,000 btu input. This boiler is out of service and needs to be removed, just curious about it's age relative to the church building. As with every New Yorker Boiler, these products are manufactured with safety, economy, and serviceability in mind! Quick Google search revealed, the following from, ahem, another HI forum: From Glenn Stanton, field rep for Burnham: ' The serial numbers of our boilers are basically sequential, meaning that the last four digits really have.

Sorry but with just a serial no and no brand I'm unsure how to decode - you can make a 'guess' from B-82 as perhaps February 1982

Nice going on cleaning up and restoring that gas fireplace.
If you look carefully all over the unit I expect you will find some castings with names and maybe even a patent number
Take a photo of those and let me see it or tell me what the text is and we can be much more specific.
Without that I can only guess late 1800's.. It could be much newer depending on the type of metal and Hardware fittings.
Watch out: burning that device indoors without proper venting could be dangerous risk and carbon monoxide poisoning.

John,
Take a look at the data tag information on your heating system. You can see the brand, the model, and if the date of manufacture isn't right on the tag it will be encoded in the serial number.
The size of the unit or heating capacity in input and output BTUs per hour will also be given.

Karl you'll want to look at more than brand and model name (and model number) to get boiler age; typically the date is either given right on the data tag or it is encoded in the serial number.

How do I find out the age of my monitor heater?
On 2017-09-16 by (mod) - Anthes boilers
Tony,
Please use the page to or bottom CONTACT link to send me some photos of the Anthes boiler and any data tags and I can research this further.
Anthes boilers were produced by the Anthes Foundry in Winnipeg, founded by Lawrence L. Anthes ca 1915.
Lawrence Anthes' earliest patent I found was a Canadian patent No. CA 191047 for a temperature regulating device filed in 1918 and granted in 1919 (probably for the Anthes foundry).
LL Anthes along with Fred Ellis and George Pallister, under the aegis of the Anthes Foundry patented a hot air furnace as CA 376829 in 1938, and another as Canadian Patent CA 379539 in 1939.
You want to look at the serial number on your boiler.
Typically on an Anthes brand boiler (a 1940's vintage heating brand Anthes Imperial Limited sold in Canada (the HGB 100), the U.S. and the U.K.) there is a 6-digit, all numeric, serial number. 123456 OR an alphanumeric serial number like ABC12
It's safe to estimate that your boiler is 50 years old or older.
For Anthes and a few other heater or boiler brands that have not come up with a clear age-decoder, take a look at the brand and serial number of (apparently-original) parts attached to the boiler such as the oil burner, burner motor, circulator pump, or other controls to find a serial number that can often get us in the right ballpark.
On 2017-09-15 by Tony
hello, I had to give an estimate for a boiler, upon viewing the existing boiler, I was wondering the age of the boiler, could someone email me if he / she has an idea, it is an Anthes- Imperial bolier WO 14 4, thanks tonynewyork@live.ca

How do you determine the age of a monitor heater?Question: how to determine the age of a Polaris Boiler Heater by American Water Heater Co.
I have a Polaris boiler heater manufatured by Amrican Water Heater Company.
The serial number is 0405116998(digits are all in one serie,no space)
The product number is 0320030
also on the manufacturer label there is a label sating the product model PR 100-34-2NV
with all this info I still can't determine what year is the boiler as it doesn't match the critria stated in the article. - Pierre 1/8/2012
Reply:
Pierre,
Most likely your Polaris water heater was made in the week of 18 May 2003. I figured as follows:
Polaris Water Heaters, most likely follow other American Heating Equipment convention as follows:
The year and week number of manufacture are encoded in the first four digits of the heater's serial number. So your heater serial number (IF that is what you meant by 'product number' - if not, look again on the data tag for the individual water heater's serial number) of 0320030 would translate to
year: 2003
week: 20
I then poked around online to find a utility that converts between week number and date, converting week #20 of 2003 to the date I gave above.
Send me a sharp photo of the Polaris water heater data tags if you want me to take another look. Use the CONTACT link found at top left side or bottom of our web pages.

Sometimes a boiler can be flushed clean. It depends on the nature of the blockage; at some point it may be beyond economical treatment. You'd want to ask for more specifics of what the technician saw and how or why s/he reached that conclusion that repair is not appropriate or feasible.
