Burnham V7 steam boiler maintenance done

Figured I would share some photos of today's project at the house. New fire chamber for my boiler along with a new pigtail, cleaning the heat exchanger, and a combustion test. I had previously done the tank filter pump strainer and nozzle. I think as far as combustion numbers go that's about as good as it's going to get being that the boiler is close to 30 years old.

Was it really 80° in the basement?

no, I'm not sure where his combustion analyzer takes the ambient temp reading from, it must be fairly close to where the tip of the probe is

@WilliamGwiazdowski , what model low-water cutoff is that? I'm not sure it's approved for steam………….
