all pipes that carry steam from the boiler to the furthest riser.no return lines.

    Quick simple question. My new boiler was just installed, this included a new header and risers as the old set-up was wrong.
    I pulled back my insulation for them and will re-wrap this weekend.
    The question is--how far back to the boiler do I insulate--should I be wrapping the entire header and the risers? What about the equalizer and the final run of the return after it has gotten below the water line? In other words--any and all exposed pipes?
    Thanks, guys.
