  • Shipping Weights

    Ron,

    The approximate shipping weights are as follows:

    V83 - 542 lbs.

    V84 - 634 lbs.

    V85 - 726 lbs.

    V86 - 818 lbs.

    This info is in the I&O manual that is shipped with the boiler under dimensional data and is also in the price book. Hope this helps!

    Thanks Glenn ,

    We just found out that we're going to be switching boiler brands from Peerless to either Burnham or Weil Mclain . My vote was for Burnham . Another question - Can the V8 be split and reassembled if you have to go down a shaky flight of stairs ? We've done it countless times with the Peerless without any problems . Thanks again Glenn .
  • Splitting sections

    Ron,

    Just as other manufactures will state, we do not advise trying this in the field. I have spoken with several folks over the years that have done so with success. I would advise having a new set of iron push nipples, high temperature silastic sealant and lubricant for the nipples on hand before doing so though. These section assemblies are pressed together on a multi-ton hydraulic press at the factory. Thanks for your vote of confidence and I hope that management considers your vote. I look forward to working with you and your guys somewhere in the near future! As I stated before, we have a lot to offer and we stand firmly behind every product we make. Hope this helps!

    Can't you make them out of something like NERF material?

    When will you guys make a styrofoam boiler, or something that will bounce?

    Ya' gotta' be gettin' bored with cast iron.
