De Dietrich GT 338A in practice

The GT 338A is the 8-section size of the GT 330A series, the mid-size commercial line of De Dietrich's eutectic cast-iron family. The GT 330A brochure prints 1226 MBH CSA gas input, 1044 MBH CSA output, a 8.5 GPH No. 2 oil input and a dry weight of 2432 lb, with a 8" vent connection and ASME IV Class 30 rating at 90 psi water.

Supply and return are 2-1/2" welded pipe with distributor tube and the operating range is 86–185 °F with a 248 °F maximum water temperature. The brochure's efficiency note states '85.2% efficiency is the published efficiency (oil is +3%)'. Submittals for every size from GT-334A to GT-339A are published on DDR Americas letterhead from Cambridge, Ontario.

Best suited to

  • Commercial plants whose calculated load fits 1044 MBH output
  • Low-temperature hydronic systems that use the eutectic iron's thermal-shock resistance
  • Buildings replacing a large sectional cast-iron boiler on a like-for-like footprint
