New Yorker CG60-FNGH Cast Iron Hot Water Boiler, Natural Gas, 164,000 BTU

The New Yorker CG60-FNGH is a gas-fired, non-condensing cast iron boiler for hot water heating. It has 164,000 BTU input, 135,000 BTU heating capacity and a 117,000 BTU net IBR rating; final selection should follow the home's heat loss and radiation.

The cast iron heat exchanger uses metal section connectors for long service and even heat transfer in hydronic systems. Ignition is intermittent electronic with a step-opening gas valve for smooth starts, and the boiler pairs an integrated control with thermal purge with a factory vent damper. Conversion to liquid propane uses the Burnham Boilers 110928-01 kit for 3-6 section boilers.

As a Category I natural-draft unit with a draft hood, it connects through a 6 in. flue to a lined masonry chimney or an approved metal chimney, a practical fit where an existing chimney is reused. Supply and return tappings are 1-1/4 in. NPT, the gas inlet is 1/2 in. NPT, and power is 120 V, 60 Hz, single phase.
