in Strictly Steam
Just installed a Burnham IN6 in a home with dry returns. Wanted to post some before and after pictures.

    One or two boiler output taps?

    I was happy that my plumber agreed to install my IN6 using both the available boiler output. As I understand it, having the double main outputs from the boiler slow the steam velocity and gives dryer steam - a good thing

    Optional

    This boiler room was tighter than you could imagine, and the house was not that large. So, we only used one tapping, as the second tapping is optional on the IN6. We piped this boiler with a drop header to aid in producing dry steam. Using both tapping's would have created clustered piping more than anything else, believe me, we thought about it :)
