    WeilMcLane 105 Gas Boiler

    Residential Use Gas Boiler In the period of 1 year I have had problems that the Weil Mc Lane company has not been able to fix. Last year the boiler went out and after delayed responses and being without the use of the boiler for about 3 weeks the company replaced the unit under warranty. In less then a year the boiler went out again and the contractor has tried several new parts and the company has delayed action to solve the problem for about 1 month.The nights have averaged below 0 with several -10. Very poor support by the company Weil McLane.

    Quality Boiler

    I replaced a boiler with the Weil-McLain Ultra modulating boiler. Soooo quiet and extremely efficient.

    Expensive, lots of maintance, does not light when cold.

    Had trouble with this boiler from the first winter it was installed. When it gets below zero, it will not light. Replaced, blower, gas valve, venture, computer, changed venting. Nothing worked. Works fine in the summer and fall. No good for cold Montana winters. 13 years later, still fighting this boiler. Gets cold and will not light and goes into lockout. I finally installed a damper on the exhaust flue that closes when boiler is not running o trap the heat. Also removed intake vent and use room air for combustion. Seems to be lighting better this fall but we have not had cold weather below zero yet.

    Ultra 105 Boiler

    I recently installed one of these boilers that replaced an older cast iron boiler heating system. The boiler fed 3 fin tube zones, a radiant floor zone and an indirect water heater. The installation went very smoothly and the boiler fired right up. The installation was for some friends. They were very impressed with how quiet this boiler operates and how much more hot water they were getting, basically never running out! The instructions that come with this boiler are very thorough and the technical support is first rate. The boiler integrated well with a Taco zone controller.

    I would recommend this boiler

    Boiler runs great. It would be good if they included the Sentinel water treatment that is required for operation.

    Nice Boiler for the price.

    Installation and startup were straightforward. Operation is quiet. The Ultra 105 ships with a Taco 007 boiler pump. Weil Mclain would do well to replace this with one of the new ECM pumps (something like the Grundfos Alpha2. These ECM pumps run at about 25% of the power consumption of the older pumps. I downloaded the installation manual from Weil McLains website prior to ordering the unit. The downloaded manual was out of date and did not reflect the current hardware. I will say the install manual is very well done. Now the temps have dropped the boiler got its first real test today and so far so good.

    Q: Can these units be converted for the use of propane (LP) and what will the manifold pressure be exiting to the burner?

    Asked by 05silvermark 16 years ago

    Add your answer

    * Required Field
    Verified Author and ReplyVerified Reply- PexSupply Staff

    Yes, these units can be converted over to LP. A conversion kit, including an alternate orifice, should have came with your unit. The pressure exiting the manifold depends on which gas you are using. Natural gas supply would give you a pressure between 5 w.c-13 w.c (water column = w.c). Liquid Propane supply would give you a pressure between 4 w.c. - 13 w.c.

    Q: If the input BTU is 105,000 and the output is 81,000 BTU I don't get an efficiency of 95 but 77. What am I doing wrong?

    Asked by Electrical EE 16 years ago

    Add your answer

    * Required Field
    Verified Author and ReplyVerified Reply- PexSupply Staff

    The BTU output of 81,000 is if you are installing the boiler in a place that already does not have heat, such as a shed- which would be your worse case scenario. Most people are installing the boiler in a house which changes the output to around 94,000 which increases that efficiency rating as well. All this information can be found in the product manual which can be viewed below: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1276634743893/31976_PROD_FILE.pdf

    - Don The Heating Guy

    The lower rating is called IBR (Institute of Boiler & Radiators ) output. It is basically counting for btu losses in uninsulated supply and return piping as well as the radiator or baseboards themselves. In modern radiant tubing installations with low temperature condensing boilers, the DOE number which is much closer to actual input can be used. On forced air furnaces, it would be equivilent to the amount we have to figure in our heat loss studies for duct leakage and poor insulation on the ducts. The boiler manufacturer is basically covering it's tail and making sure you have a little margine for below design day conditions or any other factors they have no control over. I can assure you that the boiler listed here can easily handle a radiant heating system in a house needing 81,000 btu/h by an accurate heat loss study and still have close to 16% spare capacity.

    As a follow up to the answer I gave earlier, the actual efficiency of the boiler is for every 100,000 btu's of gas supplied to boiler, you get 95,000 btu's transfered to the water inside the boiler. It does not take any losses in the rest of the system into account. It is the only thing the boiler manufactuer can control.
