Rusticles grow out from the cast iron body of the McDonnel & Miller #67 and grab the internal float to keep it working, potentially causing your boiler to burn up. Check it weekly during the heating season by turning on your boiler and going down to the basement and draining the control. The burner *should* shut off. Stop draining and the burner should come back on. Please check out my other vi...

Using concentric reducer couplings at the end of a steam main is poor piping practice, as it can hold significant amounts of water in the path of the travailing steam. Sometimes, you can sort of get away with this. Sometimes. But, that concentric reducer is even more likely to cause issues if you also need to add vents at the ends of those mains (and almost all steam mains should be properly ve...

Trane Coal Heating Era Vapor Steam Direct Return Trap
Просмотров 556Месяц назад
Trane was one of many steam or vapor heating companies that made direct return traps back during the coal burning steam heating era. They are essentially steam powered water pumps. The Dead Men didn't have a lot of trouble making or moving steam (in a sense, it moved itself). The problem arose when the condensate water had to get back into the boiler while it was under pressure. The direct retu...

All residential low pressure (15 psi) steam heating boilers, by law, must have a pressure gauge that reads 2x the maximum working pressure, or put another way, 30 psi. The delicate watchmaker internal parts of these gauges, including the Bourdon tube, should properly be protected by a steam siphon or "pigtail". Many steam syphons are readily apparent, but some are hidden or "internal" within th...

Installing A VXT-24 & Fixing A Leaking Steel Wet Return
Просмотров 2922 месяца назад
We piped in a VXT-24 using the Kendorf / SuperStrut fixture and a combination of IP (iron pipe threads), ProPress and sweat fittings and valves. We had a leak on the new brass fittings. We used a MegaPress fitting to replace a partly clogged & failing section of steel wet return. The old threaded steel end of the wet return likely failed & clogged due to galvanic corrosion when copper was tied ...
