boiler
Looks like that boiler should be in a pit.0 -
Steam
This is why drop-headers were invented. But, then again, knuckleheads think a dropped header is just a way to get a bruised toe.0 -
drop header
A drop header wouldnt work there, He said there is 16 in of a dimention. It needs to be in a pit or needs a condesate pump.0 -
Header and pump
In my opinion it needs a drop header and a condensate pump.Single pipe quasi-vapor system. Typical operating pressure 0.14 - 0.43 oz. EcoSteam ES-20 Advanced Control for Residential Steam boilers. Rectorseal Steamaster water treatment0 -
Hartford Loop?
It looks like a completely dry return to me. Probably not a good idea with that A dimension. It probably calls for water mid-cycle, so add "fluctuating water line" to the list of troubles.
I'm not sure how you measured that A dimension. Is that from the max water line to the header? If there's more than 28" from the water line to the main a drop header should work.Just another DIYer | King of Prussia, PA

A dimension
I measured A dimension from where the
Feeder satisfies the lwco.
At that point it was 2 in below Hartford loop
Close nipple
It was a toss up weather to raise up above
Close nipple or get as much distance as possible.
I would like to pipe the drip down into a wet return and then back to the boiler
