Intelligent Heating – By Design
Buderus, the world leader in heating technology, manufactures the highest quality boilers based on
centuries of experience. With its innovative design and quality manufacturing, a Buderus boiler will
outlast and out-perform virtually any other residential hot water system in the world.
The G124X, G234X and G334X are designed in Europe, where fuel costs are signifi cantly higher
and environmental regulations are more stringent. Established in 1731, Buderus uses state-of-the-art
techniques in the design and manufacturing of its boilers.
Manufactured with the patented Buderus GL-180M fl exible cast iron, the sections are tightly joined
together and sealed by profi led, beveled steel push nipples, ensuring a long life. Special compounds
provide a gas-tight seal for safe and effi cient operation. And, thanks to the GL-180M cast iron’s
amazing fl exibility, this boiler resists thermal shock under conditions of rapid temperature change.
All models are atmospheric vented.
GL-180M Gray Cast Iron:
Buderus GL-180M silicone injected, gray cast iron has excellent corrosion resistance, exceptional
casting characteristics and 40% greater fl exibility and elasticity as well as high thermal conductivity.
Buderus developed the special substances that are impregnated during the casting process to
improve the mechanical properties of cast iron. The graphite precipitates into smaller, modifi ed
fl akes which produce GL-180M cast iron with 40% greater elasticity and a high silicone barrier for
corrosion protection. Gray cast iron obtains its superior material characteristics primarily from a
high carbon (graphite) and silicone content. Additional elements further enhance the properties of
the GL-180M. The graphite appears in two different forms in the microstructure: nodular form
producing excellent tensile strength and great elasticity and graphite fl akes producing excellent
corrosion resistance against acidic combustion products. Manufactured with the patented Buderus
GL-180M fl exible cast iron, the sections are tightly joined together and sealed by profi led, beveled
steel push nipples, ensuring a long life.
Special compounds provide a gas-tight seal
