@clammy & I replaced this over sized leaking incorrect piped steamer with a Peerless 63-03 typical drop header. The steam system is a Richardson System with most of the radiators with the original return fittings on them.

    That "Lennox" boiler was a Dunkirk, in case anyone was wondering. I bet the system runs a whole lot better now!

    @EzzyT Is that a water filtration system for the make up water connection?

    Thank you all.
    Yes the system is working way better no more hammering.
    Yes the water filter is a demineralize filter for the make up water.

    It's funny, and I am not sure if anyone else has found this, but the el cheapo residential Dunkirks and old Uticas seem to last a long time despite totally screwed up installations. I suspect that the huge amount of splash cooling of the upper portions of the castings is helping life. But boy do they need better piping.
