W-Mc 368 steam to water

nick z. · December 2003

I know This isn't the best thing to do but, these people hava no heat and no money.
Someone gave them a 368 Steam boiler we need to use for water. There are 2 tappings on the bottom of boiler(front&back).Can I use the one in the back for the return or must it return in the front? Reason is back was used for steam and the front has a plug in it that looks like it wants no part of coming out. Thanx, Nick

Back tap is fine.

Shouldnt be a problem at all.

Some WM boilers

The smaller WM boilers I see for steam are dual designed for hot water. If you go to a wholesaler or perhaps WM website they should have a installation guide you could follow for the hot water trim.

plugs

any plug can be removed. simply cut it out. or heat & unscrew it. if some one put it in ,you can take it out.

W/M 68 series.....

Instruction sheet showed this rear tapping as an optional(hot water) return. The front is probably a better place for complete circulation through the boiler, but the rear will work. Chris
