Replacement Steam Boiler

Just a heads up on our most recent replacement job. The distribution system was installed in the 40's when the copper industry made a run on the "iron" people. I was skeptical on replacing the boiler because I have never come across a "looped" distribution system before.
BUT let me tell you, IF you follow the rules you can create a fantastic working system. The piping is in the process of being properly insulates as we post this. A steam job is incomplete until this is done. But even in it's raw state the system works like a charm. Have a look!

Wow! All that copper is bound to increase the value of the house a few thousand dollars!
