"Fools rush in where wise men fear to tread" comes to mind!

Unfortunately it seems we all have to learn this lesson the hard way.

Reminds me of an ill-fated late afternoon seal replacement that involved a few broken bolts and a stuck bronze shaft sleeve. It was in a creepy old vacant plaza space that used to be a K-Mart. There wasn't much of a leak when I arrived and the boiler and pump were off. It took me a long time to locate and diagnose a failed relay associated with the Novar controls. Once the call for pump operation was restored and the pump started running, the pump seal was leaking really bad. I was there late into the night. My boss was a really nice guy and showed up to help bail me out. I don't remember why I thought it was so critical that I got heat restored in a vacant plaza space— guessing it must have been below freezing and we were worried about bursting pipes.

Hi @RayWohlfarth , I can relate. I've learned to NEVER touch a relief valve unless I have a replacement with me. 😈

Yours, Larry
