Re: Any reason not to use the supply valve to fine-tune temperature in 2 pipe system?
I'm wondering how they sized the new boiler? I'd speculate it's oversized based on everything the OP is stating management is doing. And after the pretty new boiler, oversized, is installed and things still don't work, I wonder how the contractor then proposes to fix it?
Brace yourself for "its steam, it's old, that's how it is" which, BTW, is complete crap.

Re: New steam heating retrofit method
Interestingly enough they do not need maintenance unless some one tinkers with them and breaks a part.

That's one reason pumps are to be avoided for steam heating. Sooner or later somebody fixing something fixes it good.
There are other reasons as well.

But wait @GGross, I have been told that mini splits don't work below 32F or so! 
Re: Which is the best plumbing equipment tools to inspect our drainage system?
A jetter or locater are not really "inspection" devices. The cameras are for looking inside the pipe.
Unless your jetter has a camera on it

Re: gas steam boiler heating problem
Whatever. Bottom line here is that if the Scullys install it for you, it's going to be fine.
Re: This Friday's case, the case of the lost heat call
Plug it in?
Turn it off then turn it back on?
Check the modem?
Push the reset button?
Was that RIB one of Adam's ribs? If yes, then it is all Eve's fault

Re: New low pressure gauge reading zero
Nothing wrong with a Magnehelic. This one showed up at my house from some nice guy named Paul. Just had to take him out crabbing on my boat. Works like a charm.delcrossv said:"need" is a strong word"Need" was chosen with care. Winters is probably the cheapest gauge that has reasonable accuracy. Not like I suggested a Magnahelic.Here's a less expensive one that measures inches of water (there are 28 inches of water column in a single PSI) https://www.amazon.com/SENCTRL-Inches-Pressure-Capsule-Adjustment/dp/B0C6KJ8865
