Desperate for Steam Help........

<span style="font-size:16pt">This is a personal solicitation for assistance from Mr. Holohan to a jobsite in NJ. Not certain if you are still active for a field visit? </span>

<span style="font-size:16pt">Our customer is expecting immediate resolution. This is regarding steam issues and conversion from an old (Dead-Men) gravity 2-pipe vapor system to a new boiler w/a feed tank unit.  ***Can Dan or a reputable assistant please contact me via e-mail ASAP? Thank you, Mike</span>

    steamhead is your man!

    for diagnostics and repair, he is in the top echelon.

    why not repeat your questions, or revive your old  thread above, and get some other ideas as well.

    i think that everyone will want to know the exact pressure in ounces is for this vapor system. a good gauge can be found at gaugestore.com [0-15 ounces], mounted on the same pigtail as the vaporstat.

    why is the nozzle under-sized?

    how is the air getting out from the system, so the steam can get in?--nbc

    Sound like...

    ...air venting issues. Incorrect water line. Bad radiator traps?



    Where in NJ is the job?
