Am I mistaken or is that a PS801,lower right front of boiler, and if it is,isn't it below the crown sheet

Ed is correct with his comment regarding the LWCO type and location. Per Page 30 of the I&O manual here is the type and location of the Water Level Control(s) for that boiler. They should be the Float Type controls and in most cases should also have a Manual Reset type in the second set of tappings. Pressure fire type boilers like these can steam off usable water rrather quickly and with a probe type control in that tapping it will prabably be too late by the time it shuts down. Not one of ours but I'm concerned just the same!

Nice job Dave

LWCO issues aside , that is some nice header pipework . You're really churning out the steamers this season . I think yesterday was my 3rd or 4th . Usually were around 20 by now .

Keep up the good work buddy .

Hey Ron.

Not busy enough?

Wanna come to Westchester? The Bronx?

We are very lucky to be very busy right now. Of course, in two weeks, things may change completely.

You could teach my guys and I a thing or two. Or three.

Except for the LWCO issue

looks like a nice job! Was this the Webster system you were talking about?

I see we have some real sharp eyes here!

Here's a 4-80 we did recently with a probe LWCO installed in the proper place. This was on a Webster Vapor system in a large old house. We prefer probes on residential systems since float-type LWCO units don't always get blown down as they should. W-M offers both float and probe LWCO units for the 80 boilers so they will meet whatever code the job comes under. We check the probes and clean or replace them as needed at the fall start-up. On this one we did use a backup Pressuretrol as well as a Vaporstat.

We're staying pretty steady

with water boilers , heaters , baseboard , and the occasional furnace . It's the steamers we haven't been replacing lately . We changed out a V75 block yesterday . No pics - the piping wasn't what I'd call great .

Thanks for the offer Al . If things get slow I might just have to take you up on that . I haven't done Bronx work in over 10 years
