Peerless Steamer (Pompetti Style)

Steamhead (in transit)

that must have saved a lot of time.

Not sure about the safety valve either- did it come from the factory that way?

Just about wrapped up on this one!

The old boiler wasn't really that old but after 20 something years of running while piped incorrectly she finally gave out. We ended up with a little smaller boiler after doing an EDR on all 38 rads.

Big decided it would be best to replace all the wet returns and drop them to the floor. We even dug out all the underground returns; replaced them and painted them with tar and covered them back up.

Almost all the insulation and venting is complete and we are waiting on the traps.

Fantastic job!

This an example of how to do it right! Great job, Jamie & crew.

Make-up water

Are you feeding make-up water directly into the boiler? I like to feed into the wet return.
Any advantage to doing it your way?

Beautiful job. I just can't get insulation to look that good.

what kind of insulation is that? Looks better than the Home Depot variety I have.

RonWHC

Nice.

However, looks like inlet to the pop safety has been reduced. Should be full size from the boiler to the pop safety. No support on that hunk of steel hanging from the pop safety.

As asked earlier: why the make up directly into the boiler? Our code mandates make up in the return to temper entering water. Also requires a check valve @ lowest point of make up where it enters boiler.

Glad to see attention to wet returns. FYI. We insulate ours w/ foam. Keeps em warm & dry.

Pop safety

Looks like it increases in size going into the relief valve.

First class Jamie,

and I concur with Jim S on the pop safety question.

It did come from the factory with a 1" relief valve! We called Peerless and questioned them but we still have not gotten a response?

We always put make up water in the bottom of the boiler. If not we would have no way of skimming and cleaning, as per Perrless' instructions. Although, we check them and we feed them with hot-water off of the water-heater.

No problems

feeding water directly into the boiler . Very rarely do we see it piped into the return before the HL . In steam boilers that are 40 , 50 , 60 years old .

Jamie , you do outstanding work . Was it a long wait to have the welded header fabbed up ?

Weezbo

The welded headder...

the insulation, the Work and the dead man stickers "The Bomb". Sweet *~/:)

Thanks for the kind words all! The header is custom and our welder fabs. them in about one or two days after measuring up with us. He does great work and is extremely reliable. He is a steam guy himself.
