I'm researching further but have not (yet) found a Fairbanks Morse water heater age key. From your serial number my guess would be 1979.
Fairbanks Morse & Co. produced a remarkable range of products from radios and pumps and water heaters to washing machines and railroad locomotives.
Fairbanks Morse & Co, (Chicago IL USA) with offices in Australia, England, and in many cities across the U.S. and Canada, starting as a scale manufacturer, was a large 20th century manufacturer of heavy equipment including railroad engines (12-cylinder Fairbanks-Morse Model 38D engine) and smaller engines such as the Fairbanks Morse 2,3, and 6 horsepower 'Z' throttling governor engines.
Wikipedia's current article on Fairbanks Morse cites 3 entities:
Fairbanks Scales is a privately owned company in Kansas City, Missouri, that manufactures scales.
Fairbanks Morse Engine (FME), a subsidiary of EnPro Industries, is a company based in Beloit, Wisconsin, that manufactures and services engines. - Website: https://www.fairbanksmorse.com/about-us
Fairbanks Morse Pumps is a part of Pentair Water in Kansas City, Kansas, and manufactures pumps.
Currently (as recently as 2019) Fairbanks Morse Pumps were produced under the Pentair name (well pumps & ejector pumps).
It would be helpful if you could add an image of your Fairbanks Morse water heater and a closeup of each of its data tags or labels - one image per comment.
The only image of a Fairbanks Morse water heater we've found is from this 1946 advertisement

Nice going on cleaning up and restoring that gas fireplace.
If you look carefully all over the unit I expect you will find some castings with names and maybe even a patent number
Take a photo of those and let me see it or tell me what the text is and we can be much more specific.
Without that I can only guess late 1800's. It could be much newer depending on the type of metal and Hardware fittings.
Watch out: burning that device indoors without proper venting could be dangerous risk and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Like you I have searched for a Gilbarco (or Gilbarco Veeder Root) furnace manual that might tell us more about decoding the model data on the furnace to figure its BTU rating - with no success though I'll continue to look.
It would help if you'd add a photo of the data tag and of any other tags or labels you can find on the furnace as well as a photo of the furnace itself. Often we can find the BTUh rating on the data tag even if it's not encoded in the unit's model number.
History of Gilbarco in a nutshell:
Gilbarco was founded in 1865 by Charles Gilbert and John Barker to market their invention that processed crude oil to provide gas used in building gas lights. Five years later their company became the Gilbert and Barker Manufacturing Company.
We can speculate about the age of your heater, if it bears a 'GILBARCO' brand or label, by noting that it was in 1966 that the company changed its name to Gilbarco, Inc. and moved its corporate HQ from Springfield MA to Greensboro NC. Between 1987 and 1990 Gilbarco was acquired by GE- UK. The company's focus was on pay-at-the-pump gas pumps. Between 1999 and 2002 the Gilbarco brand was acquired by Danaher Corp. and merged with Veeder-Root.

On 2017-09-16 by (mod) - Anthes boilers
Tony,
Please use the page to or bottom CONTACT link to send me some photos of the Anthes boiler and any data tags and I can research this further.
Anthes boilers were produced by the Anthes Foundry in Winnipeg, founded by Lawrence L. Anthes ca 1915.
Lawrence Anthes' earliest patent I found was a Canadian patent No. CA 191047 for a temperature regulating device filed in 1918 and granted in 1919 (probably for the Anthes foundry).
LL Anthes along with Fred Ellis and George Pallister, under the aegis of the Anthes Foundry patented a hot air furnace as CA 376829 in 1938, and another as Canadian Patent CA 379539 in 1939.
You want to look at the serial number on your boiler.
Typically on an Anthes brand boiler (a 1940's vintage heating brand Anthes Imperial Limited sold in Canada (the HGB 100), the U.S. and the U.K.) there is a 6-digit, all numeric, serial number. 123456 OR an alphanumeric serial number like ABC12
It's safe to estimate that your boiler is 50 years old or older.
For Anthes and a few other heater or boiler brands that have not come up with a clear age-decoder, take a look at the brand and serial number of (apparently-original) parts attached to the boiler such as the oil burner, burner motor, circulator pump, or other controls to find a serial number that can often get us in the right ballpark.

On 2017-04-21 by (mod) re: decoding the age of a Hydrotherm boiler from the seral number
Ron
Hydrotherm boilers (now owned by Mestek, www.mestek.com) encode the age in some but not all of the product serial numbers, depending on the Hydrotherm model and age.
By calling-in the serial number the company can often give you the date: USA 413 564 5515 or Canada: 905 672 2991
Hydrotherm as well as Carson Dunlop's Technical Reference Guide (cited in the home page for this topic at AGE of HEATERS, BOILERS, FURNACES) note that the date is often stamped at the bottom of the Rating Plate on the boiler.
But if don't see an obvious 2 or 4 digit year code, then you'd need to call the manufacturer. We include some example Hydrotherm boiler age decodings below.
With Hydrotherm's newer serial numbers in the format AA-1234-5678 the year is in positions 1234.
For SOME older Hydrotherm boilers the age follows AAA-1234 where I think digits 12 encode the week and digits 34 encode the year.
Your HNA-3191 then decodes to 1991
For OTHER older Hydrotherm boilers the age is encoded in the serial number in the first two or three positions, example:
Serial No. 8228474 with no alphabetic characters encodes the year in the first to digits as 82 = 1982
M-150 serial 08607162 encodes the year in the 2nd and 3rd digits so 086 = 1986
A-150 serial 8506226 encodes the year in the first two digits so the year = 1985
Adding to this Hydrotherm boiler hullabaloo, on other newer Hydrotherm models the year is encoded as a capitalized alphabetic character at the end of the alphabetic part of the serial number,
e.g.
OR-140 serial SCSC -1153 the last 'C' decodes to 1992 and a 'D' in a similar postion will decode to 1993

Regina,
That's a great but difficult question. HB Smith, (Lowell Mass) beginning as a foundry in the 1800's, incorporated in 1878, made a superb line of cast iron boilers beginning before 1870 and continuing over many years. Boilers of the same size and type and even model were made over long periods and may look very much alike.
If we (or you) contacted HB Smith for help they's probably say that without a data tag that gives the boiler serial number setting an accurate age will not be possible.
You could try a more subtle approach that might earn your $1900:
Contact the company
Phone: (413) 568-3148
Fax: (413) 568-0525
Website http://www.hbsmith.com/
Letter: The H. B. Smith Company, Inc.

Westfield, MA 01085
and ask if there were specific residential steam boiler features that are visually detectable and that first appeared in their boilers) in particular years beginning 30 or more years ago. For example a particular casting shape or mark or boiler feature.
Armed with that information, and even without a data tag you could at the very least assert that the boiler was made after that feature first appeared
or conversely
Ask what features disappeared so that you could also have an ending year.
see H.B. SMITH BOILERS Manuals, Contact information
H.B. Smith, A.O. Smith, & Smith Boilers are three different companies
Kelvin
AO Smith encodes the date in the first two digits in the second-to-last group when you see this format
K81-710-806-F0017 - that 806 = 1980
HB Smith boilers usually code the year as
- MMYY in the first two positions an all numeric serial number like 12981234 = December 1998
- YY as the first two digits of the last 6 digits in a serial number like 7-X-1-085312 = 08 or 2008
- MYY in the second and third digits of a serial number like A85 3730Z = A85 or January 1985
- the second two numeric digits after the first letter when you see this format A82-2248 = 1982
Smith Boilers (Mestek subsidiary) encode the year with aletter followed by two digits of the year
Your 'Smith' boilers don't exactly match these formats,
I'm not sure which 'Smith' boiler (Westcast) you've got. But from the GB I'm guessing this is a Smith Boiler. Gas-Fired hydronic or steam boiler.
You can contact Smith Boilers directly at
Westcast, Inc., 260 North Elm Street, Westfield, MA 01085 (413) 562-9631 FAX: (413) 562-3799 Website: www.smithboiler.com
I'd guess (without really knowing) you've got a 1975 and a 1985 boiler each.

On 2017-03-29 by Regina P
I've been told my steam boiler was made by HB Smith, but the tag/sticker is nowhere on the boiler. We've owned the home since 1999, and the owners before us were here for five years before that and did not replace it.
We are planning to replace it this spring as it is rusting on the sides, and there have been some intermittent water leaks. However, none of the heating contractors we've had estimates from will certify that it is over 30 years old, which would allow us to get a $1900 tax credit/rebate. Is there a way to determine the age without that tag? The burner attached is dated from the 1986.

Reply: History of the H.B. Smith Boiler Company
Joe you gave us a model number but no serial number. Because models are manufactured over a number of years the equipment age is encoded in its serial number not its model number. Take a look on your data tag:
HB Smith boiler data tag decoding: (pattern not verified)
In the serial number the second and third digit from the left are usually the year. E.g. from Carson Dunlop's Technical Reference,
A82-2248 would translate to year of manufacture 1982
HB Smith water heater data tag decoding:
In the serial number, begining with a letter (indicating the wate heater model), the next two digits from the left indicate the year of manufacture just as the boiler serial number above.

Reply:
Jen,
Yours is probably an Olsen Coal/Wood - Oil forced warm air system. The CWF is more likely a model number.
But I think if your equipment is old, you may be out of luck finding anyone at the present company who knows a thing about it. Just look at the brand name history given below.
You might get some help from wood heat suppliers who I found still sell spare parts for Olsen coal/wood furnaces, such as at woodmanspartsplus.com though the parts I saw looked a bit generic. You will find help with estimating BTU output of wood fired heaters and furnaces at a variety of wood heat organizations.
It's no surprise that tracking down the current company selling or servicing older HVAC equipment is difficult. Look at this example: Olsen's product line originated in the 1940's. Olsen's combination heater line was purchased by DMO Inustries (previously known as Duomatic-Olsen, then as Olsen Technology). DMO Industries manufactured two brands of furnaces, Olsen and Airco. Those were sold in 2001 to ECR International (formed in 1999) who now owns Olsen, Airco as well as the Oneida Royal furnace brands, Utica and Dunkirk boilers as well as Enviromaster International central air conditioners.
You wont' find information about any combination fuel heaters in their current product line, thouigh for Olsen products more information may be available from Olsen/Airco at Olsen/Airco Heating & Cooling Products - USA P.O.

Reply:
Jay, Joe, and Charlie, in addition to using the articles and books referenced above for free or cheap ways to determine the age of a heating or cooling device, you will want to note both the product name+product number or model number AND, critically, the product serial number.
The name and product number help make sure you're using the right decoding procedure. The year and month or year and week of manufacture are usually coded in the heater's or air conditioner's serial number. Often in the first four digits, as our example below illustrates.

Reply:
Pierre,
Most likely your Polaris water heater was made in the week of 18 May 2003. I figured as follows:
Polaris Water Heaters, most likely follow other American Heating Equipment convention as follows:
The year and week number of manufacture are encoded in the first four digits of the heater's serial number. So your heater serial number (IF that is what you meant by 'product number' - if not, look again on the data tag for the individual water heater's serial number) of 0320030 would translate to
year: 2003
week: 20
I then poked around online to find a utility that converts between week number and date, converting week #20 of 2003 to the date I gave above.
Send me a sharp photo of the Polaris water heater data tags if you want me to take another look. Use the CONTACT link found at top left side or bottom of our web pages.
Question: determine the age of a Burnham gas hot water furnace
How do I find out the age of an 80,000 BTU Burnham gas hot water
furnace with Model No. P-204A-WNU - Kern 10/10/12
Reply:
Kern we'd need the serail number not the model number to determine equipment age. In general, just to get our terminology right, usually we call hot water heating equipment a boiler and we reserve the name furnace for warm air heating systems. I know there was an exception but that's generally the case.
A typical Burhham boiler data tag will show numbers like
Model RS-112 Ser- 35044173
or Serial No. 35 048911
or Serial# 01005880
It's that serial number you want.
I am researching the first serial number decode. For the second example, after the 35 (probably model number) the next two digits 04 are month and the nect two digits 89 the year of manufacture of the unit. In the third example we're stuck again - when you've found the serial number, I'd give the company a call, give model and serial number, and just ask them. Let us know what you learn as it will assist other readers.

The heating service tech (not you) should do the following:
Clean the system completely, including boiler, flue vent connector, and if needed, chimney Assure proper combustion air source Adjust the system to factory spec: oil pressure, draft, burner nozzle, electrodes, etc.
THEN
the tech will measure the stack temperature at the breech, the CO2 level.
The combination of CO2 level and temperature allow anyone to read a chart of combustion efficiency of the unit in that condition.
Just looking up a spec somewhere tells you little about how your system is actually performing unless you take the steps above.

Question: Looking for age of an American Standard Furnace
Looking for the age of an American Standard furnace

Dave,
American Standard stopped making oil and gas furnaces in March 1968.
American Standard Boiler Serial Number Decoder:
In older serial numbers using a letter followed by two digits such as C73, the year is the two numeric digits.
In newer serial numbers such as 71B03311 I'm not sure but I'd guess the year is the first two digits (71)
You can contact American Standard to ask: telephone 800-241-4102.

Question: how to determine the age of a Moncrief furnace made by Henry Furnace Company
I am trying to determine the age of a Moncrief furnace made by the Henry Furnace Company Model L-95 Series 4. There is no serial #. It is maroon with chrome trim - Matt Falk Aire Serv - 3/29/2013
Reply: Henry Furnaces & the Moncrief furnace name
Matt,
The Henry Furnace Company who made Monrief furnaces was a Medina Ohio company. IF data tags were legible you'd find a 3-digit series number (perhaps like 622) equivalent to a model, or an actual Model Number (L150) and a serial number sometimes in the format A-620-22-4-B.
With no data we can't know the age of yours, though sometimes there will be a clue of the 'at least' age by noting data on the equipment service tag or on a date written on the original instructions stuffed up in the framing overhead.
Without any information you can stil bet the Moncrief is more than 20 years old, more likely from the 1950's. The 'safe' advice is to declare a 50-year old heating furnace obsolete, and past due for replacement. A more thorough assessment by someone wanting to put off buying a new furnace would be a thorough cleaning, inspection for damage or heat exchanger leaks, tune-up, and efficiency measurement if the system was found safe and operable.
Be sure that any efficiency assessment is done after cleaning and tuning and a safety inspection.
See MONCRIEF furnaces that may be helpful. That catalogs 1950's era Moncrief heating equipment.
See HENRY FURNACES & Moncrief furnaces for historical details and the chain of owners and marketers of both Henry furnaces and Moncrief furnaces.
Question: Find the Manual & Age for an Anthes Intercity Furnace - Anthes HVAC Age Decoder
I’m looking for help in finding a specification plate or manual for a Anthes intercity finance from 1974. Yesterday I had a tech come to the house to clean the furnace. The tech tagged the furnace because the specification plate was missing and I can’t locate the furnace manual from 1974.
I now have 45 days to either provide the furnace manual or have a new furnace installed. If by the 45th day I haven’t they will shut off the gas. Any ideas how I can get my hands on a specification plate or furnace manual from a Anthes intercity finance from 1974? - A.G. 9/18/2013
Reply: History of Inter City Gas & Its Furnace Brands: Anthes, Bullochs, Furnasman,
My understanding from reading several historical notes & reports on furnace history is that Intercity Furnace (Inter City Gas Co., Winnipeg, Canada produced Anthes, Bullochs, & Furnasman equipment) was renamed as International Comfort Products (ICP) that was in turn purchased by United Technologies in 1999. Note 1
The Anthes Intercity furnace line was produced at least from the 1950's through the 1970's. In 1980 Intercity also produced an early condensing furnace - the Ultimate - that we've read did not perform well. Note 2
Anthes boilers and furnaces that are still older were produced by the Anthes Foundry in Winnipeg - discussed below.
You will find some websites online offering to sell parts for the Anthes Intercity Furnace under the new ICP brand. I'd try that approach to finding a manual; you may find someone who has one and can prepare a PDF - sorry but we don't have that manual ourselves or I'd post it for you. Here are some Anthes Intercity Furnace links that might help:
- http://www.gobookee.net/inter-city-gas-furnace/ includes a link to what promises to be a 'full version' manual for the Inter City Anthes brand furnace.
Watch out: We didn't try this link - you'll need to provide a credit card to make this purchase. Let us know if this works for you - or if you have trouble.

Question: age of an Olsen Furnace Serial 34470HTRL
(Jan 23, 2014) Anonymous said:
can you tell me how old my olsen furnace is. serial 34470HTRL
Reply:
Referring to Carson Dunlop Associates Technical Reference Guide for Olsen Furnaces (www.olsenhvac.com) the key is the 'HTRL' in the serial number.
I'm guessing it's a 1996 furnace based on the following explanation:
In one type of Olsen the year is in the 3rd letter - but the 'R' in your serial does not translate - or if it does this unit was built after year 'N' which was 1992/3. If we keep counting and guess Olsen kept the same encoding 'O'= 1993/4 'P' = 1994/5 'Q'= 1995/6 and 'R' would date from 1996/7 model year.
Reader comment:
Thank you so much. There was another number FBL 17327E but the first number I listed was clearly marked as the serial number. Not sure if the FBL17327E was the model, or if it helps in any way. Thanks again for your help.

Question: information on an oudoor-installed Sterling woodstove
(Feb 10, 2014) Kari hinkle said:
Hello, I am looking for information on a outside Sterling woodstove. We purchased it with our house about 10 years ago. It runs the hot water to our home. unfortunately I am unable to find any identification numbers etc on it.
it has Sterling and a phone number written on the front. I tried the number and it is nothing to do with sterling co anymore. I am running into dead ends and was wondering if anyone cld help . thanks in advance
Reply:
Kari, I too had trouble finding useful information about Sterling brand woodstoves. What would make sense would be to ask for a prompt safety inspection by your local fire department and/or wood stove installer.
When the original company who made a woodstove or in your case a wood-fired water heater has disappeared, a first step in getting help is to try to find who installed the stove locally. Of course that person may be gone too
Watch out: an immediate safety concern that prompts my suggestion for a fire department inspection is the risk of improper safety controls (such as pressure relief valves) or improper or unsafe chimney & venting on a decade-old wood fired hot water heating appliance. You don't want to risk an equipment explosion nor a chimney fire.
(Apr 2, 2014) Don Norman said:
To add emphasis to Dan's comments, owners will occasionally burn EVERYTHING in their wood stove or, especially, their wood furnace. Creosote accumulates quickly on the flue interior and has been the cause of many flue fires.
Some years ago I inspected a home for a buyer that had installed a wood furnace in his home the year before. He had a flue fire at his wood furance that caught his house on fire. He, his wife and dogs got out and watched as their home burned to the ground. They lost everything including their vehicles. Just a word of warning.

Thanks Don you're right on about that and I appreciate the addition as will other readers.
Woodstoves are not garbage incinerators. In another case I inspected a woodstove with unsafe fire clearance distances from wood walls; the owner knew it was unsafe and had avoided burning the house down by making only tiny low-heat fires in the wood-stove - at least that was his explanation.
We could hardly expect the new owner or future occupants to do something special. And none of them had considered the effects of pyrolysis, lowering the ignition point of nearby combustibles. That can explain a fire that occurs when people think they were doing '.. nothing different than before'.
What's different may include creosote, chimney clogs, lowered combustion point of nearby substances and a host of other hazards that are perhaps less obvious to normal people.

Homart gas furnaces were a Sears & Roebuck brand manufactured by Dornback Hardware & Plumbing for Sears and distributed about three decades beginning in the 1940's.
See SEARS / KENMORE HVAC Manuals & Parts
I'm doubtful you'd find manuals or parts from the present Dornback Furnace Co. as furnacecompare [dot] com and other sources point out that the Dornback brand was purchased by Adams Mfg. in 1992 - that brand continues but in essence it's a newer product line.

Sometimes a boiler can be flushed clean. It depends on the nature of the blockage; at some point it may be beyond economical treatment. You'd want to ask for more specifics of what the technician saw and how or why s/he reached that conclusion that repair is not appropriate or feasible.

Mark,
Regrettably, if the particular wood burner that you purchased is NOT UL-listed, you would not find it practical and probably not even feasible to 'obtain a UL Listing' - since doing so requires submitting a product (or perhaps several of them) to an appropriate Underwriters Laboratory for testing and certification or 'listing'.
If the model originally had a UL Listing it should have a metal tag on the device indicating that status.
Now that I've arm-waved and speculated about all the bad news, here's what you want to do:
Go to the Underwriters Laboratories website database
http://database.ul.com
and search for your woodstove by manufacturer and model. UL will tell you if that product ever was listed.
If it was, you could print that information and give it to your astute building inspector.
I tried a search of the UL database for 'Wards' + 'VMT-2105 R' and got no hits. You might try some other variations.

I don't know the specific cast iron baseboard heater you mention but it would be odd to have to physically pry one from a wall; rather it most likely must be disconnected at either end of its piping and then screws or bolts are found that secure the unit in place. They may be painted over or behind a removable cover.
