A heavy‑duty six‑section cast‑iron steam boiler engineered for large residential steam systems requiring strong output, dry‑steam performance, and long service life. The WBV‑E platform is known for its rugged cast‑iron block, quiet operation, and clean, efficient combustion. The WBVE05WPCT arrives as a factory‑packaged unit with burner installed, and includes a low‑water cutoff (LWCO) for added system protection. Designed for natural‑draft chimney venting, it is a straightforward replacement for older atmospheric oil steam boilers.
