Reading the Nameplate on My Boiler

Why Read the Nameplate on Your Boiler?

Often underestimated, the nameplate on your boiler is a key element for maintenance, diagnosis, or ordering spare parts. A true identity card for your device, it gathers precise technical information such as the exact model, brand, power, type of gas used, and operating pressure. This data is essential to ensure compatibility of the components.

Where is the Nameplate Located?

Depending on the brand and model, the nameplate may be located on the side, at the back, or even under a protective cover. It is generally riveted or stickered onto the body of the boiler, sometimes on the burner if it is independent. When it is hard to access, taking a photo or carefully noting the information is highly recommended, especially before ordering a replacement part.

What Information Does It Contain?

The nameplate indicates, among other things, the serial number, type of gas (G20 for natural gas, G30 or G31 for propane or butane), power expressed in kW, and sometimes the wiring diagram. The serial number, in particular, is essential for dating your device and finding the correct technical breakdown. It allows you to precisely identify the version of your boiler, especially when the manufacturer has produced several variants under the same commercial name.
