About TRIAD Boiler Systems

TRIAD Boiler Systems began almost 85 years ago manufacturing hot water heaters and hydronic heating convectors. The company soon expanded into the production of Hot Water Boilers for commercial radiant heating applications. Today, TRIAD continues this tradition by manufacturing Premium-Quality Commercial, Packaged Hot Water and Steam Boilers.

These modular units can be fired sequentially, based on heat-load requirements. With the use of commonly recognized, off-the-shelf controls and burners such as Honeywell, Powerflame and Riello, replacement parts are easy to obtain.
Commercial Modular Boilers of All Types

TRIAD Hot Water and Steam boilers use a steel firetube design with inputs ranging from 210,000 to 2,000,000 Btu’s. Multiple units can be operated via a control panel to produce many millions of Btu’s. All TRIAD models from 600,000 Btu’s to 2000 Btu’s carry an Underwriter’s Laboratories (“UL”) listing.

Typical applications include:

    (i) Hot Water Space Heating
    (ii) Low Temperature, such as in-floor hydronic heating or snowmelt,
    (iii) Domestic Hot Water.
    (iv) Combination Boilers.
    (v) Steam Boilers

You can choose from gas, oil, propane, or dual fuel burners.

TRIAD’s history:

2003 Introduces Low NOx boiler.
2009 Introduces Series 2000 Hot Water boiler.
2009 Introduces a High Efficiency Condensing line of boilers.

All TRIAD boilers are constructed of steel, which has proven to be the optimum pressure-vessel material. Steel, as opposed to cast iron, can handle the stresses of combustion that reaches very high temperatures within seconds.

Steel allows for compact, efficient designs, with greater furnace volume, and more heat transfer surface within a given cubic space. The higher rate of heat transmission from steel results in a much more efficient system. .

SUPERIOR QUALITY AND DESIGN

We take great pride in the quality of our vessels. They are the most rugged small footprint boilers in the industry, constructed to exceed ASME Boiler Code standards.

  ASME Standards TRIAD Standards TRIAD Difference
Outer Shell 3/16″ 1/4″ 33% heavier
Flue Sheets 5/16″ 3/8″ 20% heavier
Firetubes 13 gauge 12 gauge 16.6% heavier

This is one of our most distinguishing competitive features.

Because of its straightforward design and rugged construction, our boilers can truly provide “Solutions For Investment Engineering”.

Our design restricts firetube expansion to less than 1/32 of an inch, virtually eliminating the adverse effects of thermal shock.

Every hot water or steam boiler is registered with the National Board.

The Series 900 and 1600 hot water or steam boilers are complete UL Listed systems and all controls and electrical components are UL listed or recognized.

All fireside surfaces in TRIAD boilers are surrounded by water, eliminating high heat loss around the combustion chamber, and reducing wasted thermal transfer by up to 30%.
