Got a no heat call. Boiler won't fire past pilot. Lucky so far to be alive, let alone work at all.
This is a CG-6, 175,000 input.
The circ is a 26-99 !

Forgot a detail
It's also in a closet attached to the garage, at floor level. "We don't park in there anyway."
Kevin, that's 5" 26 gauge at the point of egress. 5" B-vent starts about a foot out the wall. Might explain why all the plastic ignition parts and the wiring insulation was "droopy".
Oh, and they said their gas bills are high0 -

WNY. This place used to belong to the local hardware owner and his counter jockey did this. Neither one knew hardware either. I heard them advise a customer to use petroleum grease to lube o-rings once. Maybe they could work for Viega
Kicker is he sold the house to a relative..... gonna be an interesting reunion I'll bet.0 -

What a world we live in
Modern Technology has enabled the entire civilized world to see your shoddy workmanship. That might provide more accountability than the entire licensing/code system.
Wow! Kevin0 -
Billy-Bob strikes again!
This install has "Billy-Bob" written all over it!
My fave part is the use of romex.
This site needs a "hall (wall?) of shame" to showcase installs like this, sort of a museum of what not to do.
