Burnham MST396SL-HL Burnham MegaSteam Oil-Fired Steam Boiler

A high‑efficiency three‑section cast‑iron Oil-Fired Steam Boiler engineered for exceptional reliability, dry steam production, and long service life. The MegaSteam series is widely regarded as one of the most efficient and durable residential Oil-Fired Steam Boiler available, delivering industry‑leading performance with an AFUE rating up to 86%. The MST396SL‑HL arrives as a factory‑packaged unit with burner installed, pre‑configured for clean, stable combustion and natural‑draft chimney venting.

This model is supplied less tankless coil, making it ideal for homes that use a separate water heater or indirect tank rather than generating domestic hot water from the boiler.
