in THE MAIN WALL
Here Is a 6 section 8 series I installed about a month ago with a 70 gallon aqua booster.I like to use two low water cutoffs so I have a back up.This customer understood that and let me do whatever I thought was required.Any thought on the job would be welcomed.

    Nice Work, Joe

    ANOTHER fine steam man here on the Wall!

    Can't see this from the photo angles used- you're feeding that water heater tank from a tankless coil on the boiler, right?

    Thanks, Joe

    I have a situation where that would work beautifully, but have never tried it- now I can tell the owner someone else has!

    Jim and Steamhead

    Jim there is a fuseable valve just before the other valve just cannot see it in the picture.This job was installed in bronx county NY.
    Steamhead around here this is a very commmon in my neck of the woods and have done this personnal around 200 time over past 10 years in my family business.It really works great and the fuel consumpation is very low.Not great for fuel sales :)
