Burnham Revolution®
High Efficiency Gas-fired Boiler
The Revolution Boiler is one of the most efficient cast iron, gas-fired
boilers available. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of
up to 88%, the Revolution exceeds the minimum requirements for its
ENERGY STAR® rating. The Revolution boiler is an advanced cast iron
design concept that was developed from the ground up by
U.S. Boiler Co. engineers.
Unique Boiler Design
The heart of a heat exchanger is its ability to transfer heat as efficiently as possible.
The Revolution boiler uses a unique design configuration to achieve its high
efficiencies. First, the flue gases pass through the heat exchanger in the traditional
way. Then, as the flue gases rise above the heat exchanger, they are pulled across a
secondary surface to allow for an heat transfer process to
take place.
This secondary heating surface is fitted with unique diamond
shaped heat transfer pins that are specifically designed to extract
the maximum amount of heat possible. This design concept is only
available in Burnham Revolution boilers.
Easy to Install, Maintain, and Service
U.S. Boiler Co. has designed the Revolution boiler to adapt to the needs of nearly any
home heating application. Besides the flexibility of either horizontal or vertical
venting capabilities, there is an option to use either indoor (induced draft) or
outdoor (direct vent) air for the combustion process.
The Revolution boiler is also pre-piped with a primary/secondary loop installed in the
boiler. This loop provides for easy hookup to a low temperature system, and with the
addition of a few simple controls, the Revolution boiler will perform well with radiant
floor heating installations or other low temperature heating applications.
Also, for further ease in installation, all piping and venting connections are
conveniently located at the top of the boiler.
Ultimately, the flexibility of the Revolution boiler means less time is required for the
installation, maintenance, and servicing of this advanced boiler system… all resulting
in savings for the homeowner.
Lifetime Limited Warranty
Revolution boilers are made with cast iron sections that are produced at Burnham
Foundry, LLC in Zanesville, Ohio and are assembled and tested at U.S. Boiler Co.
facilities in Lancaster, PA. The Revolution is protected with a limited lifetime warranty
on the heat exchanger. Additional coverage is available by purchasing the U.S. Boiler
Extended Warranty Plan which provides blanket protection on parts and labor for 5 or
10 years from the date of installation.

Ratings and Specifications
1. Ratings shown are for installations at sea level and elevations up to 2000 feet. Ratings reduce 4% for each 1000 ft. above sea level.
2. The Revolution is designed to vent directly through the wall or roof using Burnham’s approved vent systems, and AL29-4C® stainless steel pipe. Inlet air can be supplied using
single wall metal pipe or PVC pipe using Burnham’s PVC air intake kit.
