Slant/Fin Sentinel (SE-70 to SE-210)
The Sentinel is Slant/Fin's gas cast-iron hot water boiler line, held in the active 'Boilers' library section (breadcrumb 'Boilers > Sentinel Boiler'): five models SE-70, SE-105, SE-140, SE-175 and SE-210, Category I natural draft with the HydroStat 3200-Plus control. The official IOM prints dimensions and weights only — per-model input and AFUE values live on each unit's rating plate and official Energy Guide label, so no model records are created. The manual also prints 'MODEL SE-70 to SE-245' on page 2, which is captured as a printed discrepancy.

- Efficiency
- Unknown
- Fuel
- The hub prints no fuel statement in its text; the saved hub page includes a Gas Conversion Field Assembly Kit document and the user manuals cover standing-pilot and spark-ignition versions, so Boilers.ca records the line on its gas taxonomy without asserting conversion specifics. Confirm an installed unit's fuel from its rating plate.

About the Sentinel (SE-70 to SE-210)
The Sentinel is Slant/Fin's gas cast-iron hot water boiler line, documented on the hub at slantfin.com/library/sentinel/ with the official breadcrumb 'Boilers > Sentinel Boiler' — the active library section. The official IOM (Pub. SE-42, P/N 46-0770) names the models 'HOT WATER MODELS SE-70 THROUGH SE-210': SE-70, SE-105, SE-140, SE-175 and SE-210. Slant/Fin prints no 'current' or 'discontinued' sentence; section placement is the only official status wording, so Boilers.ca describes the line as current library / documents available on slantfin.com without asserting current production.
The IOM prints dimensions and weights only: 3–7 sections, jacket widths from 11⅛" to 23⅛", and full-of-water weights from 250 to 485 lb. There is no per-model input or AFUE table in the text — those values live on each unit's rating plate and in the official Energy Guide label PDFs, which are image-only; no OCR was performed and no values were invented, so Boilers.ca keeps the Sentinel at series level. The design is the same Category I chimney-vented cast-iron construction as the Sentry with the Hydrolevel HydroStat 3200-Plus control (the hub links the control manual).
Printed discrepancy to note: the manual title and dimensions table print 'SE-70 THROUGH SE-210', while page 2 also prints 'MODEL SE-70 to SE-245' — only the five SE models have data, and both official wordings are captured. No official Canadian-sales statement was found, so canadianStatus stays 'unknown'; gas, venting and combustion work belongs with a licensed contractor.

Frequently asked questions
What models does the Slant/Fin Sentinel cover?
Five models as printed in the official IOM title and dimensions table: SE-70, SE-105, SE-140, SE-175 and SE-210. Page 2 of the same manual also prints 'MODEL SE-70 to SE-245' — the discrepancy is flagged and only the five SE models have data.
Where are the Sentinel's input and AFUE ratings?
The official IOM prints dimensions and weights only — there is no per-model input or AFUE table in the text. Those values live on each unit's rating plate and in the official Energy Guide label PDFs (image-only), so Boilers.ca keeps the line at series level.
Is the Sentinel the same design as the Sentry?
Yes — the official IOM documents the same Category I chimney-vented cast-iron construction and the same Hydrolevel HydroStat 3200-Plus control as the Sentry, with the model range and section counts differing.
Is the Sentinel still sold?
Slant/Fin prints no 'current' or 'discontinued' sentence; the Sentinel sits in the active 'Boilers' library section with current documents, which Boilers.ca describes as current library / documents available on slantfin.com. No official Canadian-sales statement was found.
