Re: Vesta VRC repeated purge
Sounds like it could be the air proving switch for the inducer. Check tubing for blockage or condensate not draining etc
Or could be ignitor/flame sensor.
Not familiar with that boiler
Re: Steam Boiler Pressure & Some Of My Adventures
If that were mine I'd use a standard gauge and pigtail. You can clean a standard pigtail, but not an internal syphon.
Re: Reanimating Frankenstein - a gravity heat story
TRV work well with gravity system, perfect way to balance the heat in a constantly circulating system. No worries about deadheading the pump either.

Re: Am I blind? Not seeing the gas shut-off valve.
then that is the shutoff for the boiler.
I think you said it was 3 story. if that is the case the pressure needs to be around 18 psig to fill the system to the top

Re: Gravity compression tank connection
A B&G Airtrol fitting will prevent that. This is my preferred setup, since it eliminates the diaphragm or bladder which eventually fails, necessitating a completely new tank.
Re: Ever use an off brand press tool?
I’d think the jaws and tools would need to be designed as calibrated pair from factory. I know from experience jaws do go bad and have learned to replace if you get more than a couple leakers on clean jaws. I’d be concerned you would risk same issue with mismatched system.

Re: Gravity compression tank connection
If it is gravity the bladder tank will work but the microbubble air separator won't do much for you.

Re: Gravity compression tank connection
or just replace it with a bladder tank and microbubble air separator if you're already this far in.

Re: Low water cutoff not working after cleaning pigtail
Doubt you need a mask but it can't hurt. Gloves are a good idea.
Re: Am I blind? Not seeing the gas shut-off valve.
Just so you know B & G pump parts are very $$$$$. You may be better off using a wet rotor pump if you need to replace any circulators.
