This boiler permits heating water in a hygienic way for the first time, without the combustion gases condensing into the a water. The temperature of the water can also be controlled. This is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of heating technology. 1899 Johann Vaillant adopts the 'Easter bunny in an egg' as the trademark for Vaillant.

An innovation which the sector continues to use today. The unit also impresses with short heating times and the heat output being matched to the demand. 1978 Vaillant offers the first room-air independent wall-hung boiler with a fan. The room where the boiler is hanging no longer needs continuous positive ventilation. The oxygen required for combustion is drawn in from outside. New application technologies are possible. 1983 Introduction of the Thermoblock range with stainless steel heat-exchanger, continuous modulation (40-100%) and electronic ignition.
