Another steamer

EzzyT

We replaced this leaking one and upgraded the main venting.

That's a nice looking job.
It's not often that you see the drop piping rather than pigtails under the controls/gages.
I usually will do that on a commercial job and not residential. I think that's an excellent idea.

Thanks for showing it.

I assume on an annual Service you pull all the plugs on the gauge tree and clear them out, then refill with treated water.

EzzyT

@Intplm. i can’t stand pigtails so we just took the idea of how we do it on commercial boilers.
@motoguy128 exactly.

Very nice! I like the control tree piping and the low pressure gauge.

Yet another nice job!!

At least the old one was piped right

The old one didn’t look very old— was it getting a lot of makeup water do you think?

I saw you recently did a Peerless install too—is that determined by the homeowner?

EzzyT

Thanks Rob.
@ethicalpaul the old one needed water at least a few times a day. No the boiler make and model is determined by us. We install what’s best matching to the system.

Thanks @EzzyT. I’m sorry I wasn’t clear—I meant before the boiler leak do you think that lots of fresh water input (from vent leaks, etc) contributed to its apparently short life? Or did it live a full life?

If you don’t mind sharing, what kind of differences between say WM and PB would come into play?

EzzyT

Combination of a full life and leaks on radiator vents.

Different ratings between the two.
When purchasing a packed boiler like the 63 or EG series the Peerless don’t come with any plugs in which is a huge plus when it comes to installation.
Plus the Peerless’s have a heavier casting.
The WM skim tapping goes all the way through all sections which the Peerless’s don’t they only go through the 1st section.

Amazing as usual, not that you need my praise.
