this is a boiler replacement

that Steve Pajek and myself just completed..the old boiler didn't leak, but was piped wrong and took on massive amounts of water because of this..of course flooding routinly and having to be drained only to do it again..plus it was the wrong size..we control the pressure from the end of the main with a cutout of 5 ounces.. we even replaced the wet returns in their entirety.

Nice work

but it breaks my heart to see what the flooding did to that Gorton #2........

AWESOME PIPING

In capital letter quality stuff it's total awesome when you get to go in and correct stuff and do the job right the first time .Where i,m workin it,s ahard sale when every body just tosses them in like garbage and then they split or say that's how it,s suppose to work it,s great to see beautiful work like that i love that drop header it's a beauty.Final note i love to ask where the boiler instruction are when the boiler isn't piped right you know the installer took mthem so he wouldn't have to pipe it over again and do it right some people just don't read instruction again great stuff keep up the excellent work KUDOS and peace

Nice , VEry nice

As always. I am sure glad you're not around here, I might have someone that actally knows steam well to compete with.

In the immortal words of Dan H., around here "the one eyed man is king".

I like those flanges.

Nice to see other places with gas meter still in basement.

Question


That looks beautiful!

Excuse my ignorance (I learn by asking stupid questions) but what is the purpose of the vaporstats located on the ends of the mains?

DaveGateway

drop headers

Never saw a drop header before. How does it work and where would you use it.

Dropped Headers

help you maintain a larger vertical distance from the header to the system main(s) while still maintaining the required vertical rise from the Normal Water Leve to the header. They also aide in slowing the steam down somewhat and improves on the ability to establish dry steam to the system due to the additional elbows or turns. Not to mention they look absolutely awesome!

its easier to control

the pressure thru the main from its end..for example we usually see about 8 ounces at the boiler with about 4 or five at the mains end..so we set our pressure from the mains end..this variation isn't from piping friction loss, its from the runouts that try to steal pressure as the steam is traveling..say we set the vaporstat at the boiler, set at 4 ounces, cause we figure okay, probably one ounce friction loss according to the old charts..nope, probably only actually have one ounce at the end of the main, cause of ''runout robbery''..you could do it fine from the boiler, but from the mains end eliminates alot of trial and error tweaking..not my idea, wish it was..its from a older fellow who caught the tail end of the steam heat installation days around here..thanks joe

I agree with Clammy

Awesome work . It looks like you bumped up the near boiler header size more than the lit says ? Always a great piping idea . The homeowner lucked out when they hired your crew .

Thanks

Gerry - thanks for the explanation
