Utica Boilers SSV Broschüre

The heat exchanger is the critical component of any 
boiler and is primarily responsible for efficiency and 
durability. At the heart of the 95% efficient SSV is the 
Utica family’s unique, vertically mounted helical fin tube 
heat exchanger, made of 316L/444 stainless steel. The 
fins are laser welded onto the stainless tube resulting in 
greater strength and heat transfer capabilities.

•  ASME certified to operate in applications up to 150 psi – 

though the typical residential application is around 15 psi

•  Every heat exchanger is tested up to 375 psi; this is 25 times 

the typical residential boiler system operating pressure

•  Proven reliability with tens of thousands of successful U.S. 

boiler installations

•  Every boiler is test-fired at the factory
•  Complete combustion test is performed and a computer 

printout of the results are shipped with every boiler to 
ensure proper commissioning

The SSV heat exchanger is simply the finest ever designed and 
as such we provide the strongest factory warranty available.
An additional first year leak-free heat exchanger coverage 
provides the original purchaser the right to select a new 
replacement SSV boiler or heat exchanger at their choice, 
and receive a labor allowance of $500.00 for the servicing 
contractor.

The average water heater is rated at .59 EF - Energy Factor, 
measure of the useful energy coming out of your water heater 
divided by the amount of energy consumed to heat domestic 
water. The typical water heater accounts for 18% of your 
fuel bill. One of the conveniences of heating with a boiler is 
the ability to use it to generate your domestic hot water. By 
pairing your 95% efficient SSV with an H2O indirect water 
heater tank you will reduce your fuel consumption for heating 
hot water, increase the amount of hot water available and 
be protected with a lifetime tank warranty. Ask your heating 
contractor to replace your inefficient standalone hot water 
tank with an H2O.   

The Utica SSV is 95% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) 
and has been awarded Energy Star Most Efficient status. The 
SSV’s advanced control automatically regulates boiler operation 
to ensure you are using the least amount of fuel possible.  

The SSV’s control adjusts both the amount of gas being 
burned (modulation) as well as the boiler water temperature 
(outdoor reset). Gas burner modulation reduces your fuel cost 
by adjusting the fuel burned to meet the actual demands of 
your heating system. Rarely will your home require the full 
capacity of the SSV and burning more gas than needed is bad 
for your budget and the environment. Outdoor Temperature 
Reset adjusts the boiler water temperature based on outdoor 
conditions. During cold periods, water temperature is increased. 
As it gets warmer, water temperature is lowered. Varying the 
water temperature reduces your fuel costs.

Competition vs. SSV Coil
The SSV offers a round shape and a larger 
diameter coil for better water flow and 
reduced scaling. Other manufacturers use heat 
exchangers that are more prone to this build up. 
They position the heat exchanger horizontally 
and use smaller diameter tubing both of 
which result in sediment buildup and ongoing 
maintenance costs to keep them clean.

SSV Coil
The vertically positioned SSV heat exchanger 
coil drains away any debris and scale and in 
doing so is self cleaning.
