Steamer repipe

EzzyT · October 2017

We repiped this oversized 3 year old boiler and added 2 stage firing to cut down on the short cycling.
Going back tomorrow to upgrade the main venting, skim the boiler and combustion analysis.

Now that is sweet! Nice work.

Hard to believe the original installer put a skim port on after botching everything else...

How hard to get the original risers out? I always dread that part. Did you have to cut them?

EzzyT · October 2017

Thanks @EBEBRATT-Ed and @New England SteamWorks
The original install was a tech that I used to work with.
They weren't to bad since they were in only 3 years. No I wrenched them out the 3' did the job.

You know, -it's getting harder to keep up with your pressuretroll/gauge trees, btw!

Lovely! Can I call it lovely?

Just awesome!

2 qs: at what op pressure low fire kicks in and what gas valve did you use on it?

EzzyT · October 2017

Thanks @AMservices and @MilanD.
Low fire kicks in at 8oz and it's a Honeywell 8345Q4563 2 stage gas valve.

is there a certain distance you need to kick down before raises back up to your controls? also, is the chimney lined?

EzzyT · October 2017

Thanks Frank.
Just have to drop down enough to create a water seal/trap. Yes the chimney is lined
