DL Mechanical installs first Burnham

Dave0176

As the heading says, needed a power vent steam boiler so Burnham it was. Previous boiler was a Burnham IN5PV much oversized installed fully with copper, so in went a IN4PVNI. The only bad about these power vents is the vent fan blocks the second riser so I had to go with one. Waiting on the Barnes& Jones big mouth vent. Works and runs beautifully with the DL Mechanical treatment.

Beautiful as always @Dave0176. I stopped installed the PV for the very reason you described, you can only use one riser. In the future, you can always use a power venter Also, you’re killing me with that soldered drip leg on the relief valve, how are you ever getting that off?! 7/8 OD x 3/4 MIP compression elbow, you’ll never look back.

Thanks @Danny Scully and yes have used the 3/4 compression many a times, however this time I didn’t have any and forgot to reorder lol. As far as power venters goes, we looked into this and didn’t have the ground clearance, this 3” pipe just makes the minimum 12” ground height, the power venter wouldn’tve made it. There is the ducted power venter to get you up to 44” but the price is insane.

We always solder our prv drip legs. We just cut the middle of the run if we need to take it off. Throw a repair coupling on and back together in a couple minutes.

Beautiful! And only the 2nd skim port I've ever seen installed on an IN!

Question: I ran into one of these awhile back. The owner called me in due to the noise, and a vibration that could be felt on the 1st floor. The original installers were called back twice, and each time they did something with the venter which improved things, but the owner still was unhappy.

How would you characterize the nose/vibration of this unit you just installed?

@Dave0176 great work!
Never knew that about losing the 2nd riser on the PV model.
Good thing you used a 3" header.
@Danny Scully going to be a city inspector one day.
Lord have mercy on a plumber trying to install a steam system in his town

I characterize it with this line in our terms and conditions: “For power gas burner and/or power vent boiler installations, the customer is aware of and accepts any/all potential operational noises.”

You do know the title of your post is:

Danny Scully

You’re confusing me @New England SteamWorks, this isn’t my thread.
