Slant/Fin GG Series manual Galaxy Steam Models, Larger tappings, dry steam, Speed skimmer trough

GALAXY™

Built for superb performance

and long life.

Each Galaxy boiler is tested in our factory, not in your basement.

We test individual Galaxy boiler sections under pressure of up to 250 p.s.i (at least 20 times the normal residential operating pressure). Repetitive testing of individual sections, assembled heat exchanger and completed boiler ensure the leak-free integrity of every boiler shipped. Plus, complete testing of the electrical system, valves, wiring and accessories all add to Galaxy’s high reliability.

Fast, simple installation. Easy maintenance.

Your Slant/Fin heating contractor can install a new Galaxy boiler in about a day. Packaged hot water models come fully pre-wired and pre-set. For easy access, the front panel goes on and off in seconds. Burners, controls, pilot, combination gas valve and circulator are all mounted and easily within reach from the front of the boiler. On PZ steam models, the convenient speed skimmer trough makes skimming easy for the installer or homeowner.

GALAXY STEAM MODELS

Galaxy steam models are the industry’s best solution to system noise and boiler maintenance problems. Galaxy is an ideal replacement boiler for an old steam heating system or for new steam heat jobs. High efficiency models, with intermittent pilot and vent damper, are also among the most efficient steam boilers you can buy. There are 29 Galaxy steam models, with choice of standing pilot or intermittent pilot ignition, all with tank- less heater optional. An external draft hood is shipped with each GX and GXH model.

Larger tappings, dry steam.

The Galaxy produces dry steam and delivers it to the system through a 21⁄2" supply tapping. This ensures lower steam velocity and reduces the incidence of water in the mains, resulting in quieter system operation.

Speed skimmer trough.

In any steam boiler installation, it’s important that the water is kept free from dirt and contaminants that can cause surging and noise. With ordinary steam boilers, elimination of these contaminants is a cumbersome and time-consuming problem. With the speed skimmer trough built into Galaxy “PZ” steam boilers, skimming time and efforts are reduced dramatically. Surface films of grease, oil and other contaminants cascade into the trough and are discharged through an ordinary 3⁄4" drain cock. It makes skimming as easy as turning a faucet.

Low profile GXHA models.

Galaxy GXHA steam models do not require an external draft hood. A built-in integral draft diverter on the four GXHA models reduce clearance requirements above the boiler to 18", making them ideal for use in locations with low chimney breaching or with overhead obstructions.

Repetetive testing ensures the leak-free integrity of every Galaxy boiler shipped.

Clearance requirements of just 18" above the boiler make the GXHA steam model ideal for tight installations.

Speed skimmer trough reduces cleaning time dramatically.
