thanks, Ray!
I’m terms of uninsulated piping, if it is a serious problem due to extra condensate, then how can any boiler be started from a cold condition?

Regarding it being a problem on the main due to too much condensate, isn’t the main always carrying all the condensate regardless?

RayWohlfarth

@ethicalpaul I believe its because the pipes heat quickly and while there is extra condensate, the system can handle it.

ethicalpaul

Thanks! It can handle it regardless of insulation, right?

RayWohlfarth

To quote the honorable @DanHolohan it depends. I always prefer steam pipes to be insulated

ethicalpaul

I prefer it too if my basement is too warm, but I think it’s good to know why we do things and what things will solve which problems!
