Best Of

After reading your reply 63-04 you say ,well I doubt I would have risked a 2 inch header , as stated I get beaten all the time by the all 2 inch header installer yeah it’s much cheaper but it ain’t better . As for wanding and cleaning ah yeah chemicals ain’t gonna do it . If piped properly and clean the water line shouldn’t bounce more then 1/2 inch durning the cycle . I would suggest your boss be the one who deals w it he sold it and he did the 2 inch header and should have honestly cleaned after the first steaming and then one or two return visits to ensure it’s clean . It s really part of the job which most shrug off and state that’s the way steam is well I’m here tell ya that ain’t the way it’s suppose to be . It looks from the eq drop that skimming wasn’t gonna happen when you pipe your eq drop in front of the skim port it’s highly unlikely it was in the thought pattern and really over looked . It’s a pet peeve of mine to make sure the skim port can be used other wise it serves zero purpose . The use of the standard boiler drains are crap I usually throw them in my brass scape and install full port ball valve for reverse flushing and removing all the crap the always returns when a new boiler is installed . It isn’t some thing that happens w just about every steam boiler ,multi returns visits to get the system clean,again personally the most common issue w mis behaving steam boiler is bad piping ,not cleaned . This is really the second half of the job and the one most don’t price in until beaten badly then they learn . Just like undersized header and wet steam there common and a lot of system will operate but as I always say never what they should be and the biggest thing the in knowing your successful in your install is when customer never knows weather the heat is on or off they just know that there comfortable . This what we all should aim for being we are all in the indoor comfort business ?
Peace and good luck clammy
