      Shipping Weights

      Ron,

      The approximate shipping weights are as follows:

      V83 - 542 lbs.

      V84 - 634 lbs.

      V85 - 726 lbs.

      V86 - 818 lbs.

      This info is in the I&O manual that is shipped with the boiler under dimensional data and is also in the price book. Hope this helps!

      Thanks Glenn ,

      We just found out that we're going to be switching boiler brands from Peerless to either Burnham or Weil Mclain . My vote was for Burnham . Another question - Can the V8 be split and reassembled if you have to go down a shaky flight of stairs ? We've done it countless times with the Peerless without any problems . Thanks again Glenn .

      Splitting sections

      Ron,

      Just as other manufactures will state, we do not advise trying this in the field. I have spoken with several folks over the years that have done so with success. I would advise having a new set of iron push nipples, high temperature silastic sealant and lubricant for the nipples on hand before doing so though. These section assemblies are pressed together on a multi-ton hydraulic press at the factory. Thanks for your vote of confidence and I hope that management considers your vote. I look forward to working with you and your guys somewhere in the near future! As I stated before, we have a lot to offer and we stand firmly behind every product we make. Hope this helps!

      Can't you make them out of something like NERF material?

      When will you guys make a styrofoam boiler, or something that will bounce?

      Ya' gotta' be gettin' bored with cast iron.
