Can you post a better pic of that "Walworth" fitting?

GW

Here’s two more

The old beast. I clocked it at 225,000. New one is 151,000. Plus the semi modern gas water heater was replaced with an indirect.

I wish the gas Co would offer brownie points for dropping BTUs off of their distribution system. Most schmoes replace like for like

Looks good!!

Me thinks the old Walworth's are drain fittings.

Love the way you placed the hy-vents on top of shut off valves.

Great idea!

GW

all you guys inspired me

GW

fwiw, that hose bibb on top----the heating circ wasn't pumping till we ran that hose to a bucket (big ball valve off of course). So if you all do this trick, make sure you can power purge the pump to get it going. I simply installed this in case the boiler needed service; we could get get all the air out and not drain/fill the entire system (hours!)

Hmm. Was that originally steam?

GW

good question=======I didn't pay attention to the rads. What's a good tip to tell? I suppose the tape-dope would be newer on one side. I really think it was an original grav hw system. pipe right to the attic too.

The only time I saw one of those was on a steam system...
