I can't help but think of this every time one of these discussions comes up.

OK in this case there is no "should" about it, this boiler will perform as good as any boiler you could pick.

Congratulations for getting one of the last 63 models ever produced

To quote one of my favorite movies, "it would be a shame to blow it up"

And congratulations for resisting going to the next larger one "just to be safe". You have somehow, some way, actually purchased the correct sized boiler, making you very rare around here!

Thanks! What a relief. Posted wrong EDR in orig post. Old age doesn't come alone

@ChrisJ

a beef is cheap here . . . .

Or a wall hung. They show up on ebay all the time. "Wall hung steam radiator"

Outdoor reset and steam??? how does that idea work in your mind? You must imagine something about the burner operating less when the outdoor temperature is higher and the burner operating more when the outdoor temperature is colder. Heat timer can do that, but is that ODR?

When using hot water and outdoor reset the concept is the water temperature in the radiators will be lower (like 120°F) when the outdoor temperature is higher (like 50°F). When the outdoor Temperature is lower (Like 10°F) the radiator temperature is higher (like 180°F)

I don't see how to make the steam in the radiators a lower temperature than 212°F… Do you?

if it is a capped pipe and it doesn't connect to something like a return, the pipe itself isn't a problem but how is the header arranged, can any condensate that gets in it drain somewhere?
