TECHNICAL - Help Identifying your PARKRAY

Information about How to IDENTIFY YOUR PARKRAY ROOM HEATER

 
Parkray Roomheaters have been in existance for over 40 years, some of the older applainces (some 20, 30 or even 40 years old) are still in existance and used daily by households all over the UK.  This is a testament to the build quality of some of these earlier Parkray models.
 
As there are so many models and sizes of the Parkray, they can look very similar, however, the parts inside of them are different.  Some parts fit many appliances and others are more specific.
 
The 'SIZE' of a Parkray (The Heat Output) of the Fire | Boiler is denoted by '77' or '99' or '111'.  The Model (Spec | Style ) of the Parkray is denoted by 'G' or 'GT' or' Chevin' or 'Caprice'
