Another steamer

EzzyT

We ripped out a overly sized cracked steamer and installed a Peerless 63-04L with 3" drop header 2-stage firing set and upgraded the main vents. Replaced about 30' of the wet return. Going back tomorrow to upgrade,balance the radiator vents, skim some more and hit the boiler with wand a few more times.

I don't like unions but your placement of them shows a lot of thought. Being able to get the vent manifold off and check the pressure control without disconnecting the wiring shows an installer who thinks like a service technician.

NICE JOB!!

Looks great! I like your single black pipe "pigtail" trap with the cross cleanouts. I have done them where ever feasible. Do some places require brass pigtails? With the cross plugs clean out is an easy job and will get done more often than trying to deal with the pigtail curls. (the easier it is to do the more it gets done.)

However, what is purpose of the tee with nipple/cap on the bull before the skim port. Perhaps you can see if your steaming on a hot skim?

It's an easy access port to add water treatment. Great feature!

Nice job! @EzzyT

Thanks @Stephen Minnich

Thanks @JUGHNE. I haven't come across anywhere that brass pigtails are required. When I'm doing a boiler service and there's a black pigtail I'll swap it out with a brass one. Yes the water trap seal is much easier to service and it's become a standard on all my installs.
The tee and cap on the skim port is to see if I'm making steam and a way to add treatment just **** @Fred mentioned

Is that a bottle of steam aster on the new boiler? Do you have them use it now, or tell them to wait a year? Looks great btw!

EzzyT, you are a true throw-back to the Steam Era. It's a joy to look at your art. Thanks so much for sharing.

EzzyT

@steamhouse yes that is a bottle of Steamaster tablets, I use them after I've skimmed and washed out the inside of the boiler with wand. (Thank you Gerry Gill).
Thank you @Dan Holohan
