Stack damper available for a W-M LGB8 steam boiler?

mike hurley_2

Hi, We are having a new steam boiler installed next week. I asked the contractor about installing a stack damper. He said Weil Mclain did not offer one for the LGB 8. Does this sound correct? Why would it not be offered?
Thanks, Mike

I am certain they are...

available.

Since it is not a "packaged boiler" item, perhaps your installer was unaware they exist?

They do improve efficiency substantially, something on the order of 8-10% if memory serves. They are pricey however. Still worth the investment IMO.

Last word

from Weil Price Sheet & our local distributor. No dampers on any size LGB.

Ron is correct!

I mistook the LGB for a PFG. Mia culpa!

There would be no purpose in installing a vent damper on an open ended draft hood. Duhhh.

Sorry if I mis-lead you. They don't make a damper for the LGB, nor would one improve anything. Perhaps prevent some warm boiler room air from going up the chimney...

Thanks for correcting me Ron
