Boiler Model & Year??

tcassano87

Anyone familiar with or know this specific Weil-McLain Steam Boiler Model, more important a rough year it may be from??. Haven’t ran into one with the color jacket before. No current issues with it, was there for an issue with the water heater. But probably a new client and they are looking for a service to be done before next season.

It's an EG-something. Measure the outside dimensions and look here:

yeah I thought it would be an EG but the color of the jacket made me think it’s much older and maybe was a different one

Maybe the 1987 ballpark.

It may be an EG-55 or a PEG-55. I would guess series 1. (Weil Mclain does not state Series 1 on the first introduction of a boiler. Tthey only specify the series after the second version is introduced). And since the Series 2 manual indicates that the I=B=R Net Steam SqFt rating in this series 2 manual is 510, I can only assume that the first generation of that boiler was 508 Net SqFt Steam as stated on the rating plate (sticker)

From the Weil McLain EG and P-EG Manual.

yeah it’s definitely an oldie….they added another boiler after Sandy..this one was elevated so it may have avoided water/salt damage. Old enough to not even have a roll out switch
