De Dietrich GT 126A in practice
The GT 126A is the 6-section size of the GT 120A series, a eutectic cast-iron, three-pass, low-temperature boiler documented in the GT-120A brochure. The printed table gives 166 MBH CSA gas input, 141 MBH CSA output, a 1.15 GPH No. 2 fuel oil input, 9.4 US gallons of water capacity and a dry weight of 470 lb. The line is approved for direct-vent, Type L (gas-oil) or Type B (gas only) natural-draft venting.
Supply and return are 1-1/4" threaded connections and the vent connection is 6". The boiler is rated ASME 60 psi water with an operating range of 86–194 °F and a 230 °F maximum allowable water temperature; the minimum safety relief capacity printed for this size is 155 MBH. De Dietrich's North American arm, DDR Americas Inc., is in Cambridge, Ontario and states it warehouses and assembles boilers for the USA and Canada.
Best suited to
- Homes and light-commercial buildings whose calculated load fits 141 MBH output
- Low-temperature hydronic systems that benefit from the eutectic cast iron's thermal-shock resistance
- Retrofits using a chimney with Type L or Type B venting
