Question about commercial steam boiler venting
When you replacing a commercial steam boiler with a new one, do you install a chimney liner? We dont do the installations any more and just rep boilers. We are seeing one local designer stipulate that a chimney liner is required on all steam boiler changeouts and it really jacks the prices up. I can understand the logic when you replace a hydronic boiler but a new steam boiler is only a percent or two more efficient than an older one. 80-82% We never had an issue with this before. You can imagine the cost for this liner Thanks

Re: Thread sealant cure
The cure time is as short as you need it to be to get the heat on.
The sealant is in the root of the threads.If the threads dont leak, the oil cant get to where the sealant is.

Re: Beckett AF Oil Furnace Help
@Cino You could stuff some newspaper in the combustion chamber and light it. I would have a fire extinguisher handy. And the fire dept on speed dial.
You may or may not have any liquid in the chamber but don't let that fool you any fire brick or insulation will absorb the oil and there could be a substantial amount in there.
If in doubt don't attempt to light it.
