We ripped out that Burnham leaker and installed a Peerless 6304 with a 3” header, upgraded the main venting.

VERY NICE JOB!!! Drop header and all.... But the center 4" foundation block is a different color???
Other than that is is perfect!

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

Steam boilers are dropping like flies in your area. What are you doing, 3 a week?
I'm jealous.0 -
How old was it?0

Nice job! I'm probably going to get that same boiler if & when my Peerless G-561 ever dies, but I'm starting to think it might outlast me.Just another DIYer | King of Prussia, PA

Yep, we've got g series boilers ( or the prior model) installed in the 60's that are still going. Owner started using treatment before we began maintaining it and the boiler is nice and clean when we go out to service it.To learn more about this professional, click here to visit their ad in Find A Contractor.

Not if you have clean water, proper piping that keeps the water in the boiler, a tight system and run low pressure, No telling how long it will last.0 -
I have all that. But there are an awful lot of reports of burnhams failing. Those photos look like the boiler operated under a pile of road salt.0

Ooooo... sorry, didn't know you had a Burnham.
Just kidding, but keep your fingers crossed.

I'm curious, since this will probably be the model I end up installing, how hard would it be to get this through a couple of doorways and down a flight of stairs?EzzyT said:Where going with a Peerless 6304, will be finishing the install today.

@Hap_Hazzard are you doing the install yourself? If so you’ll need at least 2 other people to help you out bringing the boiler down the flight of stairs. We take off all the controls off before bring down the boiler.1
-
@EzzyT Yeah, I was planning on doing the install. I can find some help getting it down the stairs. Did you use a hand truck or carry it or...?Just another DIYer | King of Prussia, PA

We use an appliance hand truck. The ones we have are rated for 1000lbs and make sure your stairs can handle the total load bodies weight and boiler.

You need to measure your doorways. Taking off jackets, burner tray and controls will give you more room. Shipping weight of boiler is something like 575 pounds.1 -
It’s the first time I have really been thankful for my bulkhead doors

See my sight glass boiler videos: https://bit.ly/3sZW1el0 -
Yes. Me too. The reason the bulkhead doors are made is for loading and unloading of the big stuff mentioned above.ethicalpaul said:It’s the first time I have really been thankful for my bulkhead doors
Finished basements/basements with no bulkhead doors are problems. BIG problems when; a boiler , water heater, oil tank, etc. need to be changed.1
