Product Description

Weil-McLain cast iron sectional hot water boilers allegedly incorporated asbestos fabric lining under the outer sheet metal jacket, asbestos rope gasketing around the burner door and cleanout ports, and asbestos block insulation in the front and rear head cavities. According to publicly filed asbestos litigation records, hydronic heating installers and residential and light institutional plant technicians handled these materials directly during boiler assembly, section replacement, rope repack, and jacket removal for annual cleaning. Weil-McLain boilers were widely installed in single-family homes, apartment buildings, small commercial spaces, and school heating plants.
