GPR packaged gas-fired boiier--a new concept for low-cost hydronic heating
The revolutionary GPR is a new circular cast Iron boiler that's amazingly compact in size and light in weight The secret of its efficiency is the high heat transfer rate of the vertically-stacked THERM-O-GRID sections, an exclusive American-Standard design. With A.GA ap proved outputs of 60,000 and 80,000 Btuh, the GPR is ideal for residential application-especially in new home con
struction. The GPR is available completely packaged in three and four section sizes. All controls are mounted and pre-wired for continuous forced hot water circula tion. This new low-cost boiler is easy to handle, quick to install. One man can position it on the job-in a 2 x 2 foot area of floor space. The GPR is a little boiler that does a big heating job!
1-:.-3Tthocc-features low silhouette design for stream
lined appearance.
2-.:urav steel conooi'-features integral asbestos gasket for gas-tight seal and is easily removable for servicing.
3- nsuici'o stoei locxet--is composed of four basic pieces-- top, front, back and bottom-with attractive gray finish. Top and front panels are easily removable for access to section assembly and combustion chamber.
4-scmrcis--are factory-mounted, pre-wired, and easily ac cessible for service. Extremely sensitive limit control, de veloped exclusively for GPR, features quick-response to prevent excessive boiler water temperature.
5-cry cose ossemoiy--reduces boiler weight. Three steel legs support section assembly. Enclosed type combustion chamber provides compact design, superior performance.
6-.'inner sra.ier issemciv--incorporates burners, manifold brackets, and rear burner supports into a single, compact unit that slides in and out for quick maintenance and E-'t adjustment Pilot burner is attached directly to combustion chamber for easy access. Combination gas valve features built-in gas regulator (except for LP gas) and thermocoupletype safety pilot switch.
The exclusive THERM-O-GRID section is a compact (12 x 12 x 3 inch) lightweight (30 pound) cast iron sec tion designed by American-Standard to produce a remarkably high ratio of heat output per pound through the use of tubular-finned surfaces. When the THERMO-GRID sections are assembled, the tubes and fins oppose each other to
increase flue gas turbu lence and further im prove heat transfer. This staggered arrangement also permits quick, thorough cleaning of sec tion assembly. The sec tions are tested at 2Vi times normal water work ing pressure. Top section functions as an internal air separator, thereby eliminating the need for
an additional device.

For altitudes above 2000 ft., ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1000 ft- above sea level. a Net l = 8 = R ratines shown include allowance for normal piping loss and pick up load. American-Standard should be consulted before selecting a boiler for installations having unusual piping and pick up requirements.

GPR packaged gas-fired boilers are designed and built to comply with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' Code, and bear their approval symbol. Ratings have been approved by the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers. The GPR has been approved by. the American Gas Association for all gases. It also bears A.G.A. approval for installation on combustible flooring and for close clearance installations.

Procedure for fllllnf series Imp Heatrim System!
1. Close all zone valves except zone to be purged. 2. Open boiler drain valve. 3. Open fill valve. 4. Close purge valve. 5. Vent air from boiler by manually opening relief valve. 6. Open second valve to be purged. Close first zone. After
second zone is purged, open third zone valve and dose second zone. Repeat for as many zones as in system. (Note: Always have one zone valve open). 7. When alt zones have been purged, close boiler drain cock. 8. When water appears at relief valve, release lever and allow to close. 9. Continue filling until pressure gauge reads approximately 12 Ibs./sq. in. Close fill valve. 10. Open purge valve.
Note 1: Where multiple circuits am used without zone valves, balancing velvet should be installed for balancing. These can be shut off to purge each circuit valve individually.
Note Zi For a single loop Heatrim System, no additional vents, valves, drains or other accessories are required.
