The only odd thing, is to be working and testing a heating system on the hottest day of the summer.

Thanks for sharing the good news on how these smart customers of yours figured out what was best for them to do. Namely, find your company.

On the Isle of Long.............................................

Got the call in the spring. Ho at their wit's end....fuel bills 4 times what they should be.....no heat in 30% of the house. Had been told MANY things by many...included ripping out and going to HW. Then, they tried the internet.
Found as at this site. Long story short. 10 year-old Boiler was about only 60% output of EDR of what it needed. No main vents - period. Repiped and replaced with a new Burnham 5006 B and battery of Gorton #2s....trap rebuilds via Tunstall Associates. All radiators hot (including previously cold ones) in 35 minutes! Fuel usage WILL drop -drastically...can't wait to see how much. No spectacular drop headers here...wasn't in the budget. Sorry for the lack of good pics,,,,its one of THOSE boilers rooms where you can't get a good angle. Mad Dog

'Tis a Passion...

...and an art. Your customers benefit from your balance.

Well, since the boiler only needs one riser to the header

a drop header really isn't needed if you have the necessary riser height. But they sure look cool....

I hope this customer tracks therms-per-degree-day this coming season. We can add their results to our growing archives of steam success stories, to keep the gender-changers (thanks, Gerry!) at bay.

Actually, I was able to reuse the existing header too

which was made up of 3 1/2" and 4" fittings. Unfortunately, they won't be that fastidious, but I'll tell them to watch therms by month and compare. Thanks Frank. Mad Dog
