boiler w/new header

billygoat22

Asked around here a few days ago about if a small boiler I saw needed a header. Thanks for confirming my assesement that the header was needed. Added main air vent at end of long run, heats three times faster now.
The radiators seem hotter as well.

Before I could hear the water splashing and could feel a gentle thumping when I put my head closer to the piping to listen.

Cut the plug out closer side to add second header. Skimmed the boiler with tee I added on opposite side.

Nice going! Great report and a treat to get "before and after" comparisons with such contrast in performance.

Thanks for sharing!
