Anyone know if it's possible to install a side arm domestic on a residential steam system?

Thanks
Nik

    Yes, if the boiler has a tapping just below the water line. Should be 2" for gravity flow

    Peerless had 2.5" return tapping on left side. Also 1" tapping in left side. Closer to the front. Same thing on right side

    And that boiler piping isn't all that great

    The 1” tappings toward the front on either side are for an external heat exchanger or simply a closed loop, but I agree that the near boiled piping should be corrected.
