This one was interesting in that we pulled out a long skinney Bryant boiler and the floor was not only chewed up but had the most wicked slant i've ever had to deal with. We poured a new pad, then installed a Burnham IN8.

    Another beautiful job

    Do you prefer flanges to unions on the large pipe? I like unions for the little bit of off square it allows for but I am always willing to listen to others for their input in case it is a better way of doing things I had not thought of. You will have one very happy customer this winter for sure with that boiler.

    Thanks Charlie,

    Myself i prefer flanges, (which may be a left over from the navy) while steve prefers unions..so we kind of get whatever, depending upon who places the order, hehe.

    That should work quite nicely

    When I fired mine up if was amazing how stable the water line was and no banging in the system, despite the boiler being filthy.  Those big headers really help a bunch.  Pouring a concrete pad is really classy, and I wish there was the time to do it every time, but some things have to take priority.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Science or Art?

    This a truly beautiful installation!  No piping clutter, everything precisely how it is supposed to be!  When a craft is done so perfectly well, it becomes art.  Anyway, I know I enjoy looking at it!

    I am not looking forward to the time when my 35 year old Pennco 1,050,000 BTU boiler will need to be replaced.  But, when the time arrives, I want my new installation to look like this one!

    I am thinking that it will be a Burnham 5B or a V9.   Don't know how quiet the new power burners are... and I don't want a screaming burner fan.
