Flame-Master Gas Furnaces - a little information

Flamemaster gas furnace logo (C) InspecApediaWatch out: Names and who is using them can change over time: for example the name "Flamemaster" appears on other products such as sealants, coatings and packaging produced by Flamemaster in Pacoima California, US - not a heting equipment manufacturer.

The product line Flamemaster gas furnaces shared product designs with ClimateMater. ClimateMaster continues in business (in 2015) as a manufactuer of geothermal heat pump systems.

Here is what we have found of the history of Flame Master furnaces and Flame-Master furnace manua availability.

Watch out: some spoofing websites have gamed the search engines when you search for Flame-Master Furnace Manual and either load executable virus files or tell you they're giving you a Flame-Master Furnace manual but actually deliver a manual for a Kil 1825 Router.

Can't find replacement motor for Flame Master Furnace

I have a flame master furnace installed around 1986, the motor burnt out and cannot find a replacement, anybody know where we can order the motor? - On 2020-02-25 by Roger

Reply by (mod) - Flame Master furnace blower motor replacement

Roger

What motor is "burnt out" ?
- Oil burner motor?
- Blower fan motor?

In any case I'd bet a six-pack of Castle Danger beer that the motor on your Flame Master furnace is not unique but rather an off-the-shelf electric motor that can be replaced with a generic unit.

Pull the motor and take it to a local electrical or HVAC supplier. The only wrinkle might be if there's an unusual shaft length that needs to be matched.

Question: How do I determine the efficiency of my 1995 Fleetline Oil Fired Boiler?

How do I determine the efficiency of my 1995 Fleetline oil fired boiler? - Duncan 11/21/12

Reply:

Duncan,

The heating service tech (not you) should do the following:

Clean the system completely, including boiler, flue vent connector, and if needed, chimney Assure proper combustion air source Adjust the system to factory spec: oil pressure, draft, burner nozzle, electrodes, etc.

THEN

the tech will measure the stack temperature at the breech, the CO2 level.

The combination of CO2 level and temperature allow anyone to read a chart of combustion efficiency of the unit in that condition.

Just looking up a spec somewhere tells you little about how your system is actually performing unless you take the steps above.

FP Industries Franks Piping Boilers

Founded in Eastern Canada in the 1950s, FP Industries, or previously Franks Piping Boilers, was a steel boiler manufacturer, later merged with Dettson Industries. The merged boiler manufactuer then marketed boilers under the Hydra boiler brand.

In 1983 Dettson released their Hydra III boiler under the FP or Frank’s Piping brand. Dettson Industries was, in turn, purchased by the Ouellet Group in 2010.

Patents give some view of the history of Franks Piping Boilers

Friedrich Air Conditioners, Split Systems, Heat Pump Manuals & Guides

Friedrich Residential HVAC was acquired by ARCO in the early 1980s.

The company was re-named Friedrich Climate Master Inc. in 1985, selling water source heat pumps. Friedrich was dropped from the tradename in 1987.

Friedrich HVAC products evolved into Arcoaire. The Friedrich Air Conditioning name is still used on window units & mini splits after purchase of Zoneaire from ICP.

Zoneaire Air Conditioner Data Tag Unreadable: How old is this unit and how many tons?

I can't find any info on my old Zoneaire(?) a/c model #30FC0060AB serial #J875255109. The tag is unreadable.

I had the model & S/N written in a book. How old is this unit and how many tons? Thank you! - On 2011-08-21 by June Hayes

Reply by (mod) - ZoneAire contact information: Friedrich A/C

June: contact information for ZoneAire - Friedrich

ZoneAire, at least current modern ZoneAire equipment are a series of portable air conditioners and are a Friedrich product - try their customer contact information at the friedrich dot com website or contact

Friedrich air conditioners at the address I give just above, and ask for a service manual.

If you use their website search function for "Zoneaire" you'll find multiple ZoneAire product pages and products, but it may be easier to give the company a telephone call.

I found that following Friedrich's website to Zoneair window air conditioners doen't offer proeduct manuals for older units and focuses on the Kuhl and Chill Premier air conditioner brands.

I've researched your General Automatic hot water heating boiler Model L-6, looking for General Automatic Boiler manuals as well as age decoding tips.

It would be helpful if you could post (one image per comment) photos of

- the boiler's data tag

- the boiler itself

- the boiler's logo or ID information and any other data tags and patent numbers

and of course, do tell me the country and city of location and the age of the building where the boiler is installed.

I'll continue to research but the information above would sure be helpful.

Gilbarco - Veeder Root Furnace

On 2018-05-15 by (mod) - Gilbarco (or Gilbarco Veeder Root) furnace

Mike

Like you I have searched for a Gilbarco (or Gilbarco Veeder Root) furnace manual that might tell us more about decoding the model data on the furnace to figure its BTU rating - with no success though I'll continue to look.

It would help if you'd add a photo of the data tag and of any other tags or labels you can find on the furnace as well as a photo of the furnace itself. Often we can find the BTUh rating on the data tag even if it's not encoded in the unit's model number.

History of Gilbarco in a nutshell:

Gilbarco was founded in 1865 by Charles Gilbert and John Barker to market their invention that processed crude oil to provide gas used in building gas lights. Five years later their company became the Gilbert and Barker Manufacturing Company.

We can speculate about the age of your heater, if it bears a "GILBARCO" brand or label, by noting that it was in 1966 that the company changed its name to Gilbarco, Inc. and moved its corporate HQ from Springfield MA to Greensboro NC. Between 1987 and 1990 Gilbarco was acquired by GE- UK.

The company's focus was on pay-at-the-pump gas pumps. Between 1999 and 2002 the Gilbarco brand was acquired by Danaher Corp. and merged with Veeder-Root.

Some interesting safety history of the Holland Furnace Co. was written by Rob Sligh, cited below.

The Company admitted the 25 complaints were serious, but pointed out they were only a fraction of the 25 to 30 thousand house calls made in Detroit during that period.

Holland Furnace produced an innovative, coal-fired furnace that was the best in its day. But Holland’s innovative furnaces required different and more precise installation.
