    Yep

    I bought two 4 foot wrenches when I put the boiler in.  Only thing was it seems like they are too big for 3 inch stuff so I was kind of gentle with them.

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    Frank, wasn't your 5 footer also aluminum?

    Ours just arrived last week! I made our apprentice dead lift it over his head to test it out.
