  We Sell Rite Low Pressure Steam Boilers and Crown Low Pressure Steam Boilers.

Rite has been building Boilers in Las Angeles, California since 1952. They still have boilers in operation that were built back in the 50s. If you want an American made quality Boiler that is built to last for decades, then a Rite boiler is for you.

 

Atmospheric Low Pressure Steam Boiler

If you would like a quote for a Rite Low Pressure Steam Boiler, I will need to know your elevation above sea level, what type of vessels that you will be firing, the capacity of those vessels in gallons, and the expected heat up time. Click here to email paul@distillery-equipment.com

The Crown Low Pressure Steam Boilers that we sell are a more affordable alternative to the Rite Low Pressure Steam Boilers. However, the largest vessel that a Crown Low Pressure Steam Boiler can heat is 200 gallons. Click the link below to see our Crown Low Pressure Steam Boilers.

Models and Ratings for Rite Atmospheric Low Pressure Steam Boilers


Stack / Draft Requirements

  • UL listed for use with Type B Vent when power burner is for natural or L.P. gas fired only.
  • Type 304 stainless steel lined stack is required when equipped with #2 oil or combination gas & #2 oil burner.
  • Minimum stack height for natural or L.P. gas fired burners is 10 feet.
  • Minimum height for #2 oil or combination gas & #2 oil fired boilers is 15 ft.
  • The stack should be supported independently of the boiler and an adjustable length section of stack should be installed after the barometric damper to allow for future separation. All Rite Boilers have internal stack supports to handle the weight of the stack during installation.
  • Power Burner fired boilers are supplied with a barometric damper (shipped loose) and a draft gauge (installed) to help set and maintain a draft between -.05” to -.09” W.C. for all fuels and firing rates.

Air Requirements

Adequate Combustion/Ventilation Air is vital for safe, efficient operation. Refer to the latest edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code or consult your local building and safety department for specific requirements. Warning: Do not install in a room that will develop negative pressure without utilizing a properly sized induced draft fan.

Electrical Requirements

  • A single point 1 or 3 phase supply is required to the burner panel. See separate burner price lists for standard electrical power requirements.

  • Separate electrical supply may be required to operate boiler feed pump.

Natural Gas Supply Requirements (Static and at Flow)

  • Models 15 S * - 76 S *: 6” w.c. min. to 14” w.c. max.
  • Models 85 S * - 400 S *: 7” w.c. min. to 28” w.c. max.
  • Models 425 S * - 750 S *: 15” w.c. min. to 28” w.c. max.
  • Models 840 S * - 1250 S *: 20” w.c. min. to 28” w.c. max.
  • For other gas pressures, consult factory or your Rite Representative.

Propane Supply Requirements: 11" w.c. min. to 14" w.c. max.

Add G for natural gas or propane O for #2 oil or GO for combination gas &2 oil.

NOTE: Equivalent Direct Radiation (EDR), measured in terms of square feet, is a standardized comparison method estimating the output ability of boilers and radiators.

For Steam Systems: 1 square foot EDR will emit 240 BTUs/hr.
*Rating based on approximately 212° F (100° C) temperature and 1-2 PSI of pressure.

For Hot Water Systems: 1 square foot EDR will emit 160 BTUs/hr.
