Here are some numbers for you.

Boiler # Inside Length Net Water Approx Oil Input

715 15 " 545' 1.1 GPH
719 18 1/2" 655' 1.3 GPH
723 22 " 770' 1.5 GPH
727 25 1/2" 880' 1.7 GPH
731 29 " 990' 2.0 GPH

The oil input is approximate. You can reduce input w/ a modern flame retention burner and proper combustion chamber.

Just curious. Why continue use of a 50+ year old boiler?

Good luck.

    I have these specs

    but they don't designate sections. They give dimensions, though. Interestingly, they rate firing for oil in pounds per hour burned (and at 19,700 BTUH per pound).

    I'd be happy to fax the specs to you.
    Retired and loving it.

    The format is going to garble what I had lined up very neatly. I hope you can cybergeek it. Sometimes these things are a pain __ ___ ___.
