This is where we started (as previously posted in another thread):


And this is where we are now:


Along the way:





This system was a combination of a 120+ year old one and two pipe air vent system. One of the returns would not hold air pressure and was inaccessible; so, we did a modification and eliminated that return and one first floor rad and re-worked the branch feeding the other rad's to drain counter Flow:



Two Big Mouth vents clear the 80' 2 1/2" main in less than three minutes.

    Well I'm jealous. Nice work as always @Ironman. I like the bending temper!

    So this is the exact same boiler as the lennox GSB?

    And it worked well with the 2 2inch risers?
