Have you ever worked on boilers with common venting? If so, one of our partners would love to hear your thoughts in this 3-minute Boiler Common Venting Survey.

Thank you!

My experiences with multiple boilers are fifty years old.

So I don't think they apply. Atmospheric burners in those days.

What I remember is issues.

•Close flue from inactive boiler: how to failsafe that it's open before firing?

•What about spill hoods with small boilers when chimney is big & tall? How to ensure "overpressure/underpressure"? What about powered chimney booster?

•Will chimney condense/ ice when sole big boiler is replaced?

Building owners found some fuel saving when replacing big boiler with multiple smaller ones.
