    Buderus GB-142-45 pictures

    I am posing some pictures of a GB-142 install that I did for my parents replacing an almost 30 year old Weil-Mclain steam to forced hot water conversion boiler. The flue and fresh air intake was run up thru the existing chimney more for looks so as not to have to drill 2 holse thru the side of the house. All fittings on the system are Viega Pro-press. Electrical is done in sealtite more for looks than anything I just find it to be a cleaner look. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I always find that looking at other peoples work sometimes gives others a better idea for there next project. This has been installed now for 2 months and each month so far they have used about 50% less gas than with the old system.

    Big Pics

    It is difficult to get the true perspective when the picsare so large! I thought this anomollay was corrected.
    Nice install though -- from what I could make of it.

    LWCO

    The Low water cutoff was added after the pics were taken i did the job on a weekend and my supplier had accidently sent me a steam LWCO so it was left out till a later time.

    automatic image resizing

    Are you using Internet Explorer? If so there is a box to check in "Tools", "Internet Options". Click on the "Advanced" tab and check the box next to "Enable Automatic Image Resizing" in the multimedia section. This way, when the entire image has finished downloading, it resizes it to fit your screen.

    Very nice

    Great looking install. Insulated box around the pipe manifold, AM10 module mounted on the wall, PVC pipes run nice and neat into the chimney - great job.

    Do you still need a Low Water cut off since the boiler will not fire below three psi ?

    Great looking install Mike!

    I like how you left some piping for further hydronic additions down the road.

    The LWCO limit on the GB will only protect the boiler and the pump that comes with it.

    If you want to protect all the pumps outside of the GB you would need a line voltage LWCO before the whole system!

    Thanks Joe for the compliments. It is still running awesome and it is so great not to see the gas meter spinning like a top with the old boiler.
