Dunkirk Boiler Plymouth PWB Series Boiler Review

Published OnOctober 29th, 2008

Model PWB Gas Fired Boiler comes from the Plymouth Water II Series Boiler. While this boiler has an Energy Star Rating it is considered to be a Mid Efficiency Level boiler. The boiler has an Energy Star Rating of 81.6 percent. This boiler has a smooth operating system and if well maintained can save you a lot of money in the cold winter heating months. The PWB has a heating range of 37.5 MBH through 280 MBH.



The PWB has a Vertical Venting System and an Atmospheric Combustion system. The ignition is electric which is a good safety feature. You can filter Natural Gas or Propane with the PWB. The unit has a draft diverter and a vent damper. The burners are made from Titanium, which is a very durable and reliable material.

The cabinet or outside of the boiler is made with a very heavy gauge steel that is protected with an enamel paint finish. The boiler is 100% fully insulated with fiberglass, which will help keep your temperatures low. In turn this will save you money on your monthly heating bills.

The Water Supply and the Return Connections are installed on both sides of the cabinet. The PWB is easy to maintain and east to access. The burner panel removes very easily for maintenance when needed. Dunkirk installed an integral draft diverter as part of the cabinet, which decreases the units’ height, making installation a bit easier. The flue ways on the boiler are very accessible for cleaning and for maintenance if needed.

The Boiler comes equipped with an automatic safety pilot, pilot filtration to ensure no debris or particles can get float into the igniter. The boiler has a manual shut off feature for safety and a gas pressure regulation for proper operation. One stand out feature is the Dual Valve Design. This allows 100% shut off to the pilot and the main burners in case of an emergency.

Other special features are the Drain Valve. This valve is made from brass making it durable and reliable. The opening is ¾” which is installed by a technician. The Relief Valve is located at the top of the boiler for easy reading. The pressure should open at 30 psig, which is a safe pressure level.

Another great safety feature is the Blocked Vent Safety Shutoff. This is a thermostat that is very temperature sensitive. This valve will stop the boiler from running in the event of a vent or a chimney blockage. The valves come already installed on the boiler. It is located at the relief opening on the cabinet door.

There are some beneficial features installed on the boiler but there are also some optional features available. You can look into buying a propane gas fired boiler, propane fired conversion kit, a Grundfos Circulator Pump and Combustible Floor Plates.

With so many boilers to choose from the PWB Series from Dunkirk has many important safety features that can save your life as well as prolong the life of the boiler. Next time you are in the market for a boiler, check out the PWB from Dunkirk.
