IF REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NEEDED

When parts are needed, refer to boiler model and serial number shown on the boiler name/rating plate. Refer to publication number VHS-10PL Victory II replacement parts for part numbers. Whenever possible refer to the original order by number and date.

Control identification and replacement should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Only simple,

easily-identified controls and parts may be obtained locally. All other controls and parts should be identified by and ordered from Slant/Fin. Relief/Safety valves must be ASME rated for the pressure and gross output of the boiler.

For replacement parts, heating contractors should con- tact their Slant/Fin boiler distributor.
