Pre-cut near boiler piping

TJ_2

In my town, I have seen more and more boilers where the near-boiler piping is not to manafacturers' specs. I don't know if this is out of laziness or lack of knowledge.

I was wondering why boiler manufacturers don't provide precut-measured-threaded near boiler piping. It would be pretty easy to do, particularly with the tools available to a manufacturer. In this way, the near-boiler piping would always be right and always be iron. The Hartford loop would always be right. Installation time would be reduced. The installation plumbing would be the connection of the mains to the header and the return to the Hartford loop.

I agree, take a look at the pipe job on this Sears boiler!

Boo-Boo Don't know how I did that.

Hey George

I really don't mind someone saving and reposting the images that I create for my seminars. But I do mind when they are posted in reference to other company's installations or equipment. These graphics take many hours to create to bring life to the things that I try to convey at my Training Seminars and I would certainly prefer that they are used for that purpose only. I posted this a couple of weeks ago in answer to a question about what can happen when risers are to short or if minimums heights are not maintained and I don't appreciate it being used in reference to a Sears installation.

No problem.

I do not know how that happened. I don't beleive I have a copy of your great graphic on my system. One time I saved a URL link to it, here on the Wall, but not a clue how I did this.

I did have a copy of a photo of a really bad pipe job that I was trying to post. I still can not do that.

This photo does not look anything like what ended up in my post as your graphic was displayed.

When I saw that I edited the post to try to delete your image.

Could not find a why.

Sorry, and if I figure out what happened I'll let you know.

Although your ideas of having the near boiler piping precut and shipped with the boiler are indeed well founded, the logistics involved in doing so would make it impossible. There are just too many outside parameters that can alter the way a steam boiler can be piped. These have to do with boiler orientation to the existing mains, available head room, return orientation, type os steam system etc. We have made available a series of drawings showing pipe sizes and cut lengths, fittings and the like for our residential gas and oil-fired boilers to make life easier for the installer. These convey single or double risers to the header and both conventional and dropped headers. These are available if you would like a set. Just let me know via e-mail. Here is one of then depicting a double dropped header on our Independece stean boiler.

The animation

and illustration are awesome, Glenn. May I save them for future reference? If allowed to use them, I promise to acknowledge the source.

Best wishes,

No problem. I suppose in the future I should draw the jacket on the boiler with the Burnham logo on it or at least put in some reference to the company or me. Enjoy.
