Re: 1933 Burnham Boiler - Questions and Potential Replacement
The Megasteam is supposed to be the better boiler. I have no experience with it but I dislike anything with the Burnham name.
Re: How to pipe a Condensing boiler with heat exchanger for non O2 barrier pipe
look at the manufacturer's instructions. a lot of mod cons are copper and stainless so they might do ok on an open system

Re: How to pipe a Condensing boiler with heat exchanger for non O2 barrier pipe
What is the Non- Barrier piping? Poly B, Onix? Regular pex?
One way is to use an All Stainless Steel Indirect water heater. Use the coil (1" coil at least) and have that as your boiler loop. Then use the hot and cold as your system loops. Use all brass, copper or stainless parts on that side for best results… a good inhibitor after cleaning/ flushing.

Re: Replace: TPR valve or hot water heater?
Do you know for sure that the pressure in the expansion tank was checked? It might not be set for the correct pressure needed for your system. Also, I have had new bladder tanks where the bladder was stuck to the side of the tank, and therefore not working. One way you can possibly check that is to close the feed valve to the water heater and open a hot faucet. If you have good pressure for a few seconds, and then it just dies, then the tank is probably fine.

Re: Dual Element Smith HE2 Baseboards
No not an option. I the bathroom is only have about 3" wide x 6ft and in the other area 24" is my max width by 24 high and 2.5 in deep.
So I think given what everyone has stated i can y the feeds on supply and return and probably be okay. Since I am early in this loop feed. I am still going to check my water temp at first rad and last fin in the series but I think as long as I stay within 10 degrees I am good.
Thanks

Re: Can a new steam system be installed in a new residential house?
Good question! No. The building has a boiler. So I guess it was a whole system…minus a boiler. I cheated.

Re: Copper pipe radiator design
@Intplm. , after doing some math, I give you credit and I think I'm going in that direction. The piping only would cost me almost $300. I actually have a small baseboard radiator already that is wrongly sized for where it's installed, I could put that in the bathroom and swap it out with a more appropriate size in the original location.
