wet steam

warren_4

I'm hoping some of you can help. I am having problems with wet steam and water actually coming up the pigtail and stopping my pressurotol from operating correctly. I have tried everything that I can imagine:



1) Repiped near boiler piping correctly

2) Skimmed boiler

3) Cleaned/Flushed boiler about 8 times



I'm at a loss at how to stop this from continuing. Any thoughts or advice would be helpful.

Wet Steam

Hi-  At what pressure is your system running? It should be 2 PSI or less. You might also post some pictures of your boiler and near piping and maybe we can see something that might be causing the wet steam.

wet steam causing cut out?

what height is the pressuretrol mounted at?

the pigtail could have some debris in it trapping the water with a bit of pressure.

if mounted too low and the waterline gets a bit elevated, it could pressurize the pressuretrol beyond the cut-out point. an accurate gauge [0-2 psi, gaugestore.com] would show your exact pressure when this cutting out occurs.--nbc
