With the EPIC fire-tube boiler, Lochinvar now offers one of the broadest lines of residential condensing boiler products in the industry. The EPIC boiler delivers performance far beyond other value-priced residential boilers in its class. It touts several of the industry-leading features first pioneered by Lochinvar’s KNIGHT boiler—the top-selling residential boiler since 2005 and still the leading premium solution in hydronic heating.

VALUE PRICED AT THE TOP OF ITS CLASS
Step up from a traditional cast iron boiler to a high efficiency design with the EPIC. It comes with many standard features, including a Universal Vent Connector—a multi-material connector that allows for PVC, CPVC, polypropylene and stainless-steel connections directly into the unit. It also offers a 10:1 turndown ratio, a built-in cascading sequencer for up to eight units, and Lochinvar’s revered SMART CONTROL™ system, the gold standard for boiler control systems that includes an intuitive setup wizard and text-based display.

COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

EPIC FEATURES

1. UNIVERSAL VENT CONNECTOR
   Multi-material connector allows either PVC, CPVC, polypropylene or stainless steel connection directly to the appliance without adapters. EPIC also has a built-in combustion analyzer port.
2. DIRECT VENTING UP TO 100 FEET
   Offers five venting options for tremendous installation flexibility. It permits direct-vent air intake and exhaust runs up to 100 equivalent feet using either PVC, CPVC, polypropylene or AL29-4C stainless steel vent pipe.
3. ADVANCED NEGATIVE REGULATION TECHNOLOGY
   Safely and reliably operates with supply gas pressure as low as 4 inches water column. Its negative regulation (neg/reg) technology eliminates mechanical dampers as it automatically adjusts fan speed to ensure the correct volume and mix of fuel and air throughout the firing range.
4. FIRE-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER
   Low pressure drop saves on pump operation costs and provides installation flexibility, while stainless steel fights off corrosion.
