    It isn't all bad is it? The 'expert's got the header at least 24" above the water line (he says tongue firmly planted in cheek).

    What's the Taco circulator for?
  • I was wondering

    what happened to this one. I remember it from a few weeks ago on the wall. Not to be a critic, but if the pump and related piping I see on the return pipe is for a vacuum loop, I don't see how you are going to exchange much hot boiler water to this loop. It is best if the supply to a vacuum loop leaves the boiler high below the NWL and returns low on the opposite corner of the boiler. Nice salvage though! Thanks for caring enough to make things right! Expansion tank on a steam boiler.........hmmmmm.........what were they thinking? Just my thoughts.

    Taco pump

    That pump is a zone for cast iron radiators in the basement,which is below the water line.
