Check out boiler spec's ie: piping set-up. In the past I have used W/M oil fired steam boilers that have tappings for in-directs and then added a tankless in the boiler for a closed H/W loop.John@Reliable

    Steam Boiler w/ Super Stor and zone of baseboard

    Customer is interested in upgrading heating equipment, how do I factor in a 40 gal Super Stor and 22ft of #30 Slant Fin to the size of the boiler. Can I do a two pump manifold off the bottom of the boiler?? Any other tips would be much appreciated. I dont have much experience with zoning off a steam boiler.

    If my hot water zone is within the limit of the Boiler's pick-up, how do I add a Super Stor?

    How about putting the Super Store on a priority relay? Might be able to set it up so when the indirect calls the baseboard shuts down (if they are both calling at the same time) until the Indirect is satisfied. This might work if you really have to install both the baseboard loop and an indirect. Or maybe you can install a gas fired water heater if the Indirect is too much of a load

    tappings

    Burnham Independance boilers have tappings for indirect's also,check out their website, they also have piping diagrams for different applications, dont have them in front of me but i will post them tomorrow when I get back to work. Or try to google Burnham's Heating Helper, im pretty sure they have some diagrams in this.

    Go to Google and type in "Burnham Residential Piping and Wiring Applications Manual" I could not attatch my copy to this post for some reason, you can e-mail me direct if you want me to send it over to you in an attatchment, When you open the manual go to section 5.

    super stor

    I think super stor has a steam guide in the install guide too, if memory serves, it's a great choice for steam, I like the 1" cupronickle coil, they rec'd a strainer and drain.

    Their larger units 80 & 119C can take live steam.
