About the Knight (previous generation WH/KH)

Before today's WHB and KHB models, Lochinvar sold the Knight fire tube as the wall-hung WH and floor-standing KH generations. The current product pages keep their manuals in an archive section: "Knight Fire Tube Boiler Wall Mount — WH 56-400 — I&O Manual" and "Knight Fire Tube Boiler — Floor Mount — KH 55-285 — I&O Manual," alongside archived parts sheets and service manuals for the WH 56-400 and KH 55-285 ranges.

Both legacy installation manuals remain publicly hosted by Lochinvar — the WH wall-mount I&O at Rev Y and the KH floor I&O at Rev J — which is what an owner of an older Knight needs to identify the unit and its controls. Owners should confirm the generation from the rating plate before using any manual, because the current WHB/KHB literature does not document the WH and KH generations.

Highlights

  • Previous Knight generation: wall-hung WH (56-400) and floor-standing KH (55-285)
  • Archived I&O manuals listed under the current WHB/KHB product pages
  • WH I&O Rev Y and KH I&O Rev J still publicly hosted by Lochinvar
  • Archived parts sheets and service manuals also remain listed

Frequently asked questions

Is the WH the same boiler as the current WHB?

No. The WH (56-400) is the previous wall-hung Knight generation, replaced by today's WHB055-399 models, and the KH (55-285) preceded the floor-standing KHB055-285. Lochinvar's current manuals do not document the older generations.

Can I still find a manual for an older Knight?

Yes. Lochinvar's current WHB and KHB product pages list the archived WH 56-400 and KH 55-285 I&O manuals, and the Rev Y and Rev J editions remain publicly hosted.
