Lochinvar, LLC announces the launch of its new FTXL™ Fire Tube Boiler for light commercial applications. With five models ranging from 399,999 to 850,000 Btu/hr, the FTXL Boiler represents a new generation of fire-tube technology, delivering up to 10:1 turndown and up to 98 percent Thermal Efficiency – higher than any other boiler in its class. Enabled for CON-X-US™ remote connect capability, the FTXL Boiler offers complete control from across town or across the country.
The Smartest SMART SYSTEM™
The FTXL Boiler is equipped with Lochinvar’s most advanced, all-in-one SMART SYSTEM™ control technology. With a redesigned multi-color LCD interface and a wealth of new control features, the state-of-the-art operating system offers the option of direct integration into a Building Automation System through communication protocols such as Modbus or BACnet.
The new CON-X-US remote connectivity option redefines monitoring by simplifying data acquisition and providing remote diagnostics. Status alerts can be sent to a smart device, and the user can monitor and re-program control parameters from almost anywhere.
Further expanding upon the SMART SYSTEM functionality, the new Loch-N-Load™programming feature allows the user to load proven parameters onto a USB drive and plug the drive into a port on the front panel of the boiler to upload them to the operating system. This shortcut can reduce installation and programming time by up to 30 minutes per boiler.
With SMART SYSTEM’s built-in cascading sequencer, up to eight FTXL units can operate efficiently with total inputs of up to 6.8 million Btu/hr. To protect the system from downtime, cascade redundancy allows for the second boiler to take the lead if the first boiler in the sequence becomes non-operational.
Exceptional Ease of Installation + Simplified Service
The FTXL Boiler is designed for maximum space efficiency and flexible placement in the mechanical room. Each model in the line features zero clearance on both sides and the same installed footprint of 6.2 square feet, which is 20-30 percent smaller than competitive boilers. The boiler allows for direct-venting up to 100 feet, using inexpensive PVC, as well as CPVC, polypropylene or stainless steel pipe. Multiple FTXL units can also be common-vented, which reduces installation time and materials cost.
In addition, the water, gas and venting connections are located on the back of the boiler for easy access. Adding to the convenience, the boiler’s hinged top puts all other components and electrical connections in quick reach for simplified service.
“With the introduction of the FTXL Boiler, we continue to redefine the fire tube boiler category,” said Jeff Vallett II, boiler product manager for Lochinvar. “We designed the new FTXL line to deliver best-in class AHRI thermal efficiency and footprints, more sophisticated SMART SYSTEM functionality than ever before, plus the convenience of remote connectivity to simplify and streamline operations for our customers.”

Flood Buzz™ Pro is an easy-to-use, low-cost, patent-pending, loud and effective water leak alarm designed to help mitigate damage caused by water leaks and to serve as a key marketing tool for plumbers, contractors and other building service professionals.
Flood Buzz™ Pro has an internal battery — so once it is placed near potential water leak locations, it will sound an alert to any potential flood condition when water touches the two prongs on the bottom of the product.
Flood Buzz™ Pro may be personalized with a company name and contact information right on the unit. By placing the 2-5/8″ high x 1-7/8″ diameter alarm in their customers’ facilities – next to water heaters, laundries, under sinks, bathrooms, kitchens, etc. – contractors will get that service call when the Flood Buzz™ Pro sounds a 110 dB alarm. For plumbers and contractors, it’s like having their business card right there when their customers need them.
As a marketing tool, the Flood Buzz™ Pro provides contractors with an effective CRM strategy – customers are grateful that contractors proactively help manage potentially damaging water leaks. The Flood Buzz™ Pro delivers a cost-effective marketing advantage for all service-based companies.
