There are about a dozen of my customers that still have this brand of boiler working for them. Charlie Pistante - long gone now - was the guy that installed it. His sticker is on the cover plate of one of the junction boxes. He continued working well into his 80's because he needed the money to pay his wife's medical bills.

Such a simple system, no? Flue gas condensation? Probably, considering the pile of combustion debris below the burner. Maybe it's was self-cleaning.

If somebody decides to install an air to water unit in the future, they will thank you!

Not over sized… sized for max efficiency.

Did this w/ my own home. Cast iron rads. love it.

Flat curve comfort too..

" Tank location should be chosen in accordance with the following requirements: ▪ The tank should be placed in an area where it is unlikely to be adversely affected by normal household activities; ▪ The tank should be placed in an area where it can be visually inspected from all sides; ▪ Under new NFPA guidelines, any outdoor steel tank fitted with a side outlet or installed in a top-draw configuration must be a double-bottom or a double wall tank. ▪ The tank label must be visible; ▪ If possible, tanks should not be located directly under house eaves where they may be subject to falling snow and ice or dripping water. Protection should be provided if there are no other placement alternatives; ▪ Tanks should not be placed in intimate contact with walls or structures since leaves and other organic matter can accumulate and cause external corrosion of the tank; and ▪ Tank location shall respect the local code for distance to property lines, to other energy sources or to other storage systems."

We installed this boiler and radiator system in 2017 when the owners purchased this house. Nothing had been done to the building since it was built; single glazed windows, no insulation.
I sized the radiators for 130F water temperature as I wanted the boiler to condense and they turned out very large. My supplier says I order larger radiators than anyone else. I suppose that’s a compliment.
Recently remodeled, the radiators are now way oversized and I can drop the heating curve even lower. It’s now set to 1.1 with zero offset and the radiators will only get warm, not hot. Safe for their new children and more savings on their utility bills.
