I Product Description
The ODV series boiler is a cast iron oil fired boiler designed for use in forced hot water heating
systems. The ODV boiler must be vented using the factory supplied venting system with combus-
tion air taken from outdoors. The ODV uses the same three pass “scotch marine” heat exchanger as
the CT series boiler. The ODV series boiler is ideal for use in installations where a chimney is not
available.
The ODV boiler is not designed for use in gravity or “open” heating systems.

to the side of the structure around the terminal. To minimize the risk of this:
• Follow these installation instructions exactly
• Oil burner must be set up by a qualified serviceman using combustion test instruments
• Use only the vent components supplied in the ODV vent kit
• Combustion air must be supplied from outdoors
• Follow the maintenance procedure in this manual
