Beckett burners rated for 20%
renewable diesel blend
All of R.W. Beckett’s
existing burners are now
rated for R20 fuel, a 20%
renewable diesel. The
certification provides a
way to introduce a green
fuel solution to customers
without sacrificing
performance. Beckett is
committed to alternative,
green fuels and previously introduced a B20 Biodiesel
Retrofit Kit for Beckett model AF and AFG burners.
“We are excited and proud to approve the 20% blend
of oxygen-free renewable diesel (R20) to all new and
the existing installed base of Beckett burners along
with current warranty coverage up to R20,” said Fred
Hunt, Director of Sales & Marketing. “We see renewable
diesel as a breakthrough that offers oil heat the
lowest carbon footprint option available.”

Carlin introduces two new products
Carlin has introduced the Carlin CAP (Combustion
Air Proving) System to meet
combustion air code (NFPA
31) requirements. It provides
direct combustion air to appliances
and helps reduce the
area considered “confined” for
ventilation by 50%. The CAP
System is also simple to install
and has a code-compliant
design.
Carlin’s Hydrolevel AcuTemp is a versatile indirect
water heater control. It has an LED display, pushto
set dial, adjustable settings
for both residential and commercial
temperature operating
ranges, two different sizes (1/4"
& 3/8"), 90" long sensors and
remote mounting hardware.
AcuTemp is a suitable replacement
control for virtually any
indirect water heater (requires
24V power supply).
Slant/Fin celebrates 70 years
Slant/Fin is celebrating
70 years of heating homes
and businesses across the
U.S. and Canada. From
its 1949 beginnings in
the back room of a Coney Island bakery, Slant/Fin has
grown to become one of the largest baseboard heating
manufacturers in the U.S. and one of the nation’s top
boiler manufacturers. The company took its name from
founder Mel Dubin’s original design—a slanted, locked
fin—that he came up with in response to that era’s
inefficient fin-tube radiation designs.
“Mel Dubin started Slant/Fin 70 years ago with an
idea and a dream,” said Adam Dubin, Chairman of
Slant/Fin Corp. “He wasn’t the first to make a baseboard
but he knew he could make a better baseboard.
Quality and customer service mattered above all to
my father, and those values are still in our company to
this day.”
The original work area was so small, Dubin said, that
they needed to “manufacture 10-foot heating elements
one half at a time, then we’d open the back door so
we could turn it around to finish it.” The company
has expanded into a multinational corporation and is
now located in Greenvale, NY. The company provides
troubleshooting by phone, full sales support with a
team of independent and factory representatives as
well as frequent training for both customers and its
support team
