Re: Seeking Engineer for Off-Grid Religious Facility Heating in the Mountain States
I did preliminary work on this project a few years ago. We were talking about hydronic radiant floor heat and utilizing PV powered circulators (With battery backup) that were mounted outside the facility. We also talked of using a wood gasification boiler to utilize all of the beetle kill pine. I am happy to discuss our initial design ideas, and to see if we can be of any help!

Re: Experience I had with a boiler tech and what I learned along the way.
"many technicians haven't read since high school"
Are you sure about that??
From the installs we see on this forum I don't think they can read at all LOL

Because they won't take calls from me 😅
Peerless only offers 4 sizes: 100, 150, 200, 250 MBTU input instead of 13 sizes from Burnham.
Good job editing, Peerless graphic artists!
Re: Oil Boiler Small Water Streaks on Cast Iron
Check your return water temp. It should get above 130 within 15-20 min from a cold start.
Sounds like condensation running down the boiler maybe from the clean out covers,
Re: Utica now offering 12 year warranties, longest in industry
My experience is mostly with residential cast iron steam. My success rate is zero percent. Forget about a hand. Not even a middle finger. The closest I have gotten, is an offer to take apart the boiler, remove the damaged section, ship to the manufacturer on my own dime, let them take a few weeks or months to analyze the damaged section and determine if it's covered, wait for them to ship me a new section........

Re: Stadler radiant heat loop always circulating
The power for the pump could be connected to a "Summer-Winter" switch in the mechanical room.
Re: Peerless
My bad. Not showing the 63-X in the product list. But if you go to the documents for the 63, thet have the standard I&M manual for the 63 and separate manual for the 63-X. Very peculiar indeed
Re: Steam pressure question
I’ll start by getting the 0-3 psi gauge, a new pigtail and appropriate fittings to assemble the gauge and T it in on the pigtail line.

Re: Weil McLain Gold oil burner
Yeah. I wouldn't mess with it during the heating season. In the summer I would replace those cheap petcocks with full port ball valves. You can buy ball valves with a hose end $$$ or buy threaded ball valves and use an adapter.
And put a better drain on the sight glass.
Then flush it and use 8 way
Others will comment on that.
