Spoke to the Weil-McLain rep yesterday at my supply house Christmas party and he said they’ve decided it was a bad move and they did not expect the blow back they got. He said they may inform everyone about it (you know the way they informed everyone of the change lol) but their going to be tapping the second riser again on all PEG boilers.

Way to go @Dave0176 ! Hopefully they learned a lesson with this maneuver and will consider their customers before making these kinds of changes. I'm sure, as with all (or most) Corporate environments, they will now have a boondogle workshop or seminar on "Lessons Learned". That's Ok if the lesson was learned!1

I did tell the rep to suggest leaving the plug out of the tapping and letting us decide to use it or not, would save them some dough. I said Peerless does it like that.DL Mechanical LLC Heating, Cooling and Plumbing 732-266-5386

Thanks. They should also leave plug out of right side return tapping.0

When I bought my EG back in 2011 none of the plugs were installed. Was this because it was a knockdown it did they start doing it later?Single pipe quasi-vapor system.

I asked the rep about that too, I said wouldn’t it save the money only having to cast one right side end section. The EGH right end section is is tapped for controls. I said that kinda makes the boiler universal fit, he said not a bad idea. We shall see. I doubt it.STEAM DOCTOR said:Would also be great if they offered option of controls on right or left side. Might be a bit to much to ask for

Rep told me their finishing up running the current run, then they will switch, so yes there is going to probably be a 3-6 month supply of one tapped boilers sitting in our plumbing supply’s. This is the current series 5 which will be obsoleted and probably a series 6 introduced.STEAM DOCTOR said:One big question still remaining. How many of the one riser boilers are out there? If I go tomorrow to pick up a boiler, will I be getting one with one riser tapping or two?

If anyone hears of any single supply WM-EG-30s or Williamson 075s on discount, drop me a lineI'm a homeowner thankful for this site. This post is my attempt to give back to HH.
If that angers you, I apologize.1 -
Maybe that's our next move- MegaSteam with gas gun!BobC said:That they listened to the blowback is good, it's a shame Burnham doesn't do likewise.
