Hello all..........working on an old boiler installed in the early '30's. Made by National Radiator and Boiler company. The boiler model # is 3-SW-6. Does anyone have any idea what the BTU input rating is on this dinosaur? Thanks for any reply.

google
do a google search for 'clocking gas meter' and follow the instructions. That will tell you the exact BTUs the boiler is burning. Very easy. They could have made 10 different sizes...
