Besides an oxygen scavenger, there's a chemical in Steamaster that causes minerals to fall out of the water and allegedly fall to the bottom of the boiler where they sit until you drain the boiler. I feel both of these are beneficial especially with harder water like mine.

Try through the relief valve connection- no boiler draining required.

That's how I do it on the systems I service.

Allison is an electronic ignition that develops a 14,000 Volt Spark. Nothing to set. Just connect the white electrode wires to the secondary and connect the primary side to 120 VAC from the primary control orange or blue connection.

Yes the spinner is called a Flame Retention head. Some Beckett Burners have the head as part of the end cone, Carlin, Riello and most Wayne burners have them attached to the end of the nozzle adaptor like your QB.

If I could, I would bet $1,000 the pooling water is the problem. If there's an open path, steam will take it, so there must not be an open path, by definition.

Was this radiator added when the extension was done? If yes then the piping is always suspect. Seen this endless times. General contractors think that you can slap steam pipes together and expect everything to work.

Try to remove the sag, then a vent at the end of that main may help. The gurgling and no joy with the vent removed leads me to think waterseal/pitch problem. Pools of water are very good at condensing steam.

Pictures of the saggy main and riser connection would be helpful.
