Does anyone know how much water a munchkin 80,000 hold?
Does the water pressure switch on the munchkin serve as a low water cut-off? All the piping on a proposed installation we're working on is below the boiler. Thanks for your help.

    Don't have a spec sheet handy but would guess 1-1.5 gallons.
    The pressure switch could serve as a low-water cut-off however it is not recognized as such in my state.

    I have 9 MUNCHKINS in operation with another 4 to put in
    in December. I have decided I will include a buffer tank in
    every Mun instaqllation. The small amount of water that is
    held internaly in the boiler and considering the high output
    does not leave much for a margin of error, or for varying heat loads. From the sounds of your installation I would consider mounting at least a 6 gallon electric water heater
    above and to the side of the Munch (just as an insulated
    buffer tank, no elect connected) and include a GuardDog probe type low water cut off installed in the piping above the boiler. Small amount of effort for a premium system.

    has a tank to go with the Munchkin for a buffer I believe. Maybe a blank (no coil)20 gallon stainless with larger tappings. Is this close Munchkin man?

    is correct as dave from monroe states and we have a SSU20B
    this is our buffer tank has 4 - 1 1/2" ports a 1/2" port at the top of the unit for temp press gauge and is packaged with an aquastat well so you can thread it into a 1/2" npt port on the side of the tank and install an aquastat.

    80M - 2 QUARTS, 140M - 3.7 QUARTS AND 199M - 4.5 QUARTS

    Hello Mr. Cook. I regret not meeting you in the flash err I meant flesh sat.
    Maybe you are very short and I overlooked you or perhaps you were installing some condensate “stuff”?? Actually, I was overwhelmed with all the great wet people I met.
    Hopefully I’ll get an Invite to 120 braley soon, I live close hint hint.
    Any woo I heard my salesman ask about the 20b tank but what arrived was a ssu45 ultra
    W/it’s head chopped of witch is ok for this job. However “boiler in +boiler out look lonely
    W/out pipes in them. I wonder what you think about domestic cold stopping there on it’s
    Way to ssu45 any thoughts or invites would be helpful..
    Thanks for the support I wish you many continuous flashes.
