    Need New Piping

    Hi - It always amazes me why some installers blatantly ignore the Installation manual. 

    There are half a dozen things wrong with this install.

    Manual

    Its funny you should say manual. It was never even taken out of the folder!

    I told the manager of the guy who installed this bolier that there was a problem with the piping and he said (GET READY) "Hmmmm are you sure well did he pipe it like the old one was piped?"

    A waste of time and effort

    Hopefully you sill owe this knucklehead some money!



    If a steam boiler isn't piped per the install manual it is not going to work. there is not one thing with that install that is correct. If he balks at repiping it correctly (in threaded steel pipe) per the install manual call up the boiler manufacturer and ask them to twist his arm.

    in cases like this

    the mfg's rep should be able to help by pointing out from the source of authority that it is wrong [at least i know that our local area peerless rep would, and has].--nbc
