Leverage Your Boiler Plant
for DHW Production

Indirect water heaters use hot water from your boiler to heat domestic water through a heat exchanger — no additional combustion equipment needed. This maximizes your existing boiler investment and simplifies equipment redundancy.

Patterson-Kelley offers three distinct indirect water heater platforms — from the heritage COMPACT semi-instantaneous unit to the fully packaged MACH 'n' ROLL condensing boiler-tank system. Each is engineered for decades of reliable, low-maintenance service in potable water applications.

As a factory-authorized dealer, ICA provides complete system engineering — from boiler pairing analysis and heat exchanger sizing through installation, startup, and decades of preventive maintenance.

Semi-Instantaneous
The COMPACT heats water on demand with minimal storage — eliminating bacterial growth risks while delivering up to 250 GPM output.
Packaged Systems
The DURATION III and MACH 'n' ROLL arrive as fully assembled skid-mounted packages — reducing field labor and ensuring proper component matching.
Condensing Hybrid
The MACH 'n' ROLL combines a condensing boiler and storage tank in one unit — producing DHW with minimal to no scale buildup.
The Full P-K Indirect Line

Three Platforms. Every
Indirect DHW Application.

From heritage semi-instantaneous to fully packaged condensing — Patterson-Kelley offers an indirect water heater for every boiler plant and DHW demand profile.

Semi-Instantaneous
P-K COMPACT
Heritage Indirect — Proven Performance

Patterson-Kelley's longest-running product line — the COMPACT indirect water heater has been delivering reliable DHW across thousands of installations for decades. Constructed with a solid 90-10 copper-nickel shell and naval brass tubesheet, it's built to last in potable water service. Compact enough to fit through standard doorways, with replacement bundles available to extend service life well beyond original expectations.

  • Models: PK06, PK08, PK10, PK12
  • Type: Semi-instantaneous indirect — heated by boiler, steam, or HTW
  • Output: Up to 250 gallons per minute
  • Shell: Solid 90-10 copper-nickel (corrosion-resistant)
  • Tubesheet: Naval brass construction
  • Controls: ANTICIPATOR integral control system (±4°F)
Packaged System
P-K DURATION III
Fully Packaged Water-to-Water

A fully packaged water-to-water domestic hot water system — the DURATION III pairs a high-efficiency heat exchanger with integrated storage in a single skid-mounted unit. Engineered to complement any condensing boiler source, it simplifies installation by eliminating field-assembled piping between separate components while delivering low cost of ownership through efficiency and durability.

  • Type: Water-to-water with integrated storage
  • Design: Fully packaged — single skid-mounted unit
  • Compatibility: Engineered for any condensing boiler source
  • Advantage: Eliminates field-assembled piping between components
  • Application: High-recovery DHW for institutional facilities
Indirect Condensing
P-K MACH 'n' ROLL
Boiler + Tank in One Package

A gas-fired condensing boiler and storage tank combined in a single skid-mounted package — designed to produce domestic hot water with minimal to no scale buildup. Water-to-water heating with an isolated domestic water loop eliminates the need for mixing valves and provides precise temperature regulation.

  • Models: MnR300 – MnR1050 (pool variants available)
  • Capacity: 300 – 1,050 MBH input
  • Recovery: 18 – 66 GPM at 60°F temperature rise
  • Heat Exchanger: Stainless steel brazed plate (indirect section)
  • Controls: NURO touch-screen with modulation
  • Venting: Polypropylene, stainless steel, or CPVC

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About
Indirect Water Heaters

What is an indirect water heater and how does it work?
An indirect water heater uses hot water from a boiler (via a heat exchanger) to heat domestic water — it doesn't have its own burner. The boiler supply water flows through tubes inside the heater, transferring heat to the potable water without mixing the two. This leverages your existing boiler plant for DHW production, maximizing overall system efficiency.
When should I choose an indirect water heater over a direct-fired unit?
Indirect water heaters are ideal when you already have a boiler plant and want to maximize its utilization. They simplify equipment redundancy (one boiler can serve both heating and DHW), reduce the number of combustion appliances in the mechanical room, and can be more cost-effective in facilities with moderate DHW demand relative to their heating load.
What makes the P-K COMPACT different from other indirect water heaters?
The COMPACT is a semi-instantaneous design — it heats water on demand with minimal storage volume, preventing bacterial growth risks associated with large stored-water tanks. Its 90-10 copper-nickel shell and naval brass tubesheet provide exceptional corrosion resistance in potable water. It's also Patterson-Kelley's longest-running product line, with replacement bundles available to extend service life for decades.
How does the MACH 'n' ROLL simplify installation?
The MACH 'n' ROLL combines a gas-fired condensing boiler and storage tank on a single factory-assembled skid. This eliminates the need to field-pipe separate boiler and tank components, reduces installation labor, minimizes potential leak points, and ensures the boiler and tank are properly matched. It's especially popular for replacement projects where minimizing downtime is critical.
Can ICA help size an indirect water heater for my building?
Absolutely. ICA's engineers perform peak demand analysis, boiler pairing evaluation, heat exchanger sizing, and storage calculations to recommend the right indirect water heater for your application. We consider your existing boiler capacity, piping configuration, simultaneous demand profiles, and local code requirements.
Does ICA service all Patterson-Kelley indirect water heater models?
Yes. As a factory-authorized dealer, ICA provides warranty service, preventive maintenance, emergency repair, bundle replacement, and OEM parts for every current and legacy Patterson-Kelley indirect water heater model. Our technicians are factory-trained and carry common P-K parts on every service truck.
