    Follow up question, the pipe to the left you can see it reduces to two inch but the piping to the rest of the building is 3 inch. The somewhat equalizer on the right is in two inch for about 15 to 20 feet then go back to 3 inch. I wrote in a previous post, will that effect the steam going to its proper places quick enough? With the pipping with no equalizer make the steam / water do all kinds of funky things. I didn’t even get to the other steam boiler yet.

    You need a full repipe and also need to rid all the copper.
