Boilers are a lost art, especially steam, so I'm teaching it at my school. I'm looking for a low pressure steam setup (-150,000btu) boiler, rads, vents, show and tell items... Not necessarily new, but decent old stuff is good. I'm on a budget but if you can help me out in any way, please let me know.

    I had this thougt earlier, what if you took a small electric water heater like the kind that is used for a business without a full bath and set it up with steam trim and a pressuretrol to a lower element and used it as a demonstration steam source.

    @Hammerhead, since I live in Butler and worked on boilers my whole career I am curious as to where you are teaching this class. I would call CS&E at 412-821-8900 and ask for Tim in service; Renick in slippery Rock at 724-794-4200; or Denillo HVAC at 412-885-2356 and tell them what you are doing and what you need.

    I'm at Rosedale Tech right off the Crafton exit of 79 south. We are adding low pressure steam to our boiler class and I would like to get a small simple low pressure steam setup here some day. Thanks for the contacts and maybe they could help me with some used stuff.
