I'm trying to figure out the age of my Slant Fin boiler S/N #540429 2018/05/08 Rob
Reply:
Rob on a Slant Fin boiler serial numbers encode the age in a sequential pattern that is not obvious. But compare your SlantFin boiler serial number with the examples we give in the table above.
Given that
253376 is a boiler made in November 2004
and600574 is a boiler made in March 2008,
Your boiler was probably manufactured somewhere between those years.
Contact the SlantFin company directly for a more precise age readout
Slantfin also manufactures Galaxy water heaters
Then post a photo of your boiler's data tag for us to research the question further.
