What are the opinions of using a standard Taco cast iron air scoop in lieu of a bronze micro-bubble style on a Triangle tube boiler?

If you're
talking about a Taco Vortec air eliminator, it is a microbubble air eliminator. As far as a cast iron vs. brass body, brass is always better and will last longer. Even so, I've always used and been satisfied with a cast iron one.8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

cast vs. brass
I prefer the brass (Taco 4900 series) if the system has high flow/temperature settings. The standard cast iron separator is great, but its better utilized on a low temperature/low flow system."If you don't like change, your going to like irrelevance even less"0
