A family member of mine needed 2 steam boil is replaced. You can imagine how happy I was.
converting from oil to gas. One boiler was original to the house (A dilapidated Snowman) and the other had a 50's look. "Pacemaker" was on the cover.

I installed 2 weil-maclin EG-30. I know the 3" drop header is over kill and making the pressuretrol water seal out of brass was unnecessary, but it's for the family and it looks Awesome!

Don't know who made the Pacemaker0 -

Looks nice. I'm a bit surprised you would use hollow concrete blocks turned on their side.
There was an error rendering this rich post.

Admittedly, if i have an achilles heal in my work its the electrical, its always sloppy. I LOVE the way you do yours. I wish I wasn't always in a "gotta get to the next one" mindset and was able to slow down and do it just like that.
Nice jobTom

Lucky.lchmb said:actually just had a customer ask about doing a new construction in steam...
When I get that chance, I'll be asking @gerry gill For pointers on designing a mini tube boiler and then use @izhadano vacuum boost system to overcome the pressure drop using smaller piping.
Good luck, I hope you get the job.0 -
Great install! I am not sure your family knows how lucky they are.
On the subject of snowmen boilers, I had a down fired steam snowman in one of my homes. Between the size of the home, the small crack in the boiler talk about lack of fuel efficiency.:NYplumber:0 -
Beautiful installations. Really fun to go over the details in the polished/painted pipes and fittings. It wouldn't pass in my area due to the hollow blocks and 15 PSI gauge but NY/NJ is annoying like that. I like the pressuretrol setup.Contact John "JohnNY" Cataneo, NYC Master Plumber, Lic 1784
