The heating season has begun!

Hello Wall,
It's been a while. Hope everyone is well and piping hot!
Just finished these two customer supplied boilers. Money was real tight so don't flame me too bad.
Oil to gas conversions. Replacing the ol' Weil-McLain's with 2 Slantfin's (never put these in before)..
If I can figure out posting pic's (to the "new & improved" wall) I'll be all set.

    I find it fascinating that we have such high standards here that if anybody installs a boiler according to factory minimum requirements, we would consider that a bad job. Thanks for keeping that standard high!

    Excellent installation.

    Too bad the company that sold the customer the boiler that you installed made more money dropping off the boiler than you did installing it.

    Slant/Fin Galaxy boilers. We see them from time to time here. They have a 2-1/2" steam tapping which most guys immediately bush down to 2", just like on Dunkirks and Weil-McLains, causing all kinds of trouble.

    But, as expected, you installed them properly. Nice work.

    Very nice and clean install. I like the slant fin galaxy boilers. Over all slant fin is a good company.
