American Standard HVAC Data Tag Age & Feature Decoder

American Standard HVAC equipment like the indoor air handler or outdoor compressor-condenser unit is identified by a product data tag or sticker that contains information about the unit.

The data tag will include two key identification fields: the product designation or identification code and the product's individual serial number.

American Standard Product Serial Number & equipment age

The product serial number, a unique character string including numbers that can be decoded to give the product's age and manufacturing details.

The date of manufacture is encoded in the serial number or is given in the upper right corner of the equipment data tag. You may see the letters MFR DATE followed by a number.

Alternate American Standard / Trane Age Decoding formats:

American Standard Product Designation, HVAC Model Decoder

The American Standard product designation or model identification code is a character tring that provides information about the product type, features and capacity.

This chart provided by American Standard decodes the company's residential gas furnace model number to explain what the equipment is and what features it provides.

@Joe p,

Yep; I looked for the Trane 2YCX3 series IO or Service Manual as well as the later American Standard version - with no success; all I find are websites selling "a manual" that on closer look isn't what we want.

I'll keep at it;

Meanwhile you could try giving

American Standard a call at 1-855-528-7814

Trane Customer Service a call at one or all of these numbers
1-844-328-7910
1 (800) 945-5884
1-844-529-8237.

@Joe p, serial number is. 6384SCX9H which means it’s a 2006 model. aS has been manufacturing for Trans since 2007 and hard to find info for untold before that I think. Thanks again. I want to be able to buy parts- like maybe a circuit board or blower motor.

@Jessica,

Some heaters actually included the year on the data tag;

If not, look for the serial number, not the model number.

I don't see anything recognizable in the numbers and letters you've given.

In that case we guess at the heater age by the surrounding data:

- age of building (sets a floor under age()
- dates written on the heater's service tag or on manuals that are on occasion stuck nearby
- other household records
- evidence of replacement or repairs (cuts in piping, different piping material) etc. and work order dates

Use the "Add Image" button to post a photo of your heater
and
another photo of its logo
and
another of its data tag

thank you. I tried that and could not locate anything even remotely similar. My guess is it's old , maybe 30 or 40 yrs old since can't find any record of it. thanks!

Hi anyone know how old this boiler is?
it's American Radiator & Standard Sanitary, NY, NY and says boiler: G24 DPGC and series: 2BR J3

I have looked without success for a K-100 manual and am still looking Frederick,
noting that American Radiator-Standard Sanitary Corporation brand had its origin way back in 1875; but in 1929, American Radiator merged with Standard Sanitary, and the brand extends up through the present, owned by Trane.

I'm doubtful that the current crew can help you but you might try giving American Standard a call 855-815-0004 to see if they have a source for old equipmentmanuals

Typically the radiator temp will be lower than the HI limit set on your heating boiler's aquastat, so that'll be somewhere below 200F, often below 180F.

The actual radiator temp will vary significantly from those high limits depending on the heat loss rate of the building and of the hydronic heating system distribution piping as well as where the system is in its on-off cycle.

That means that the water temp will fall gradually in the system until it reaches the aquastat cut-in temperature, typically around 15-20 deg. below the HI setting.

Apologies, Troy - have I misunderstood: are we discussing electric heaters (this page) or electric water heaters? My answer was pertinent just to water heaters.

I'm looking for the wiring diagram for an American Standard Electric heater.

On 2020-10-04 - by (mod) -

Troy,

I can't find an American Standard water heater with simply model 19019B either.
Is it possible you've missed part of the model identification?

Current American Standard light duty electric water heaters use model IDs such as EN-30, 40, 46, 50
The wiring diagram is pretty simple - I'll update the page above to include an example - you may need to clear your browser cache to see the updated page.

Are we sure it's an American Standard water heater and not an American brand water heater?
For example pretty much all of the current American brand water heaters start with letters such as HPHE, EG, PDV,G VG etc.

Sounds as if your AC unit fails under heavy load; but we need an onsite technician to diagnose the cause as there isn't one simple cause and cure.

Question: Looking for age of an American Standard Furnace

Looking for the age of an American Standard furnace
Model: GUF 80D 3H
Serial: 71B03311

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. - Dave 1/18/13

Reply:

Dave,

American Standard stopped making oil and gas furnaces in March 1968.

American Standard Boiler Serial Number Decoder:

In older serial numbers using a letter followed by two digits such as C73, the year is the two numeric digits.

In newer serial numbers such as 71B03311 I'm not sure but I'd guess the year is the first two digits (71)

You can contact American Standard to ask: telephone 800-241-4102.

Question: American Standard Heater Age? Sunbeam?

sunbeam/american standard model sl 85, any info as far as date and age? - Magic Mike 11/4/12

Reply:

Mike,

I was not sure if you meant Sunbeam water heaters or American Standard water heaters.

Information on Sunbeam water heaters is at http://www.sunbeam.com - or it would be if their website page links worked. The water heaters I found under that name were little portable devices not home water heaters.

This may help: Standard Water Heaters are is not a simple brand name I could find, except tracing to A.O. Smith. If it's an A.O. Smith product the serial number contains the date encoded as follows:

xxxYY-xM- x xxx

where YY is year and M is month beginning with A= January etc.

SUNBEAM - see AMERICAN STANDARD boilers & furnaces and A.O. Smith at WATER HEATER AGE & MANUALS - home
