I have always seen y strainers facing downward. Good to know they should be horizontal with the pipe.

Thanks hope it helps

Thank you have a great weekend

Thanks Mike yeah it was a crazy thing

Thanks for the feedback Rite boiler recommends it I think a single check valve should work I do use vacuum breakers on steam boilers

On all our large boilers we use 3/4” brass traps with a swing check installed backwards above the water column assembly

@@Mike-rm7vf that's a good idea Does the check valve leak?

@@boilerroomdetective it does not. The little bit of condensate in the brass trap keeps the swing check pushed closed when under pressure. I’ve used Hoffman #26s in the past and they usually bite the dust after a few years especially in an application that has an automated steam valve on steam supply causing the boiler to go into vacuum frequently.

@@Mike-rm7vf Thanks

You would have to ask a water treatment expert but if the boiler is running properly the chemicals don’t leave the boiler

Yes sir I was thinking of adding it but didn’t want the video to be too long Thanks

Thank you for your comment and support

Thanks I appreciate it

lol I hear you

@@boilerroomdetective good video once again

@@Mike-rm7vf Thanks Mike

Thanks @irishmike I appreciate it and agree

back in the day things were simple, but worked, nowadays everything has to have some kind of computer and fails.

Thanks I appreciate it

I agree I liked the simple controls

As a young 19 year old I worked with my Dad, he was a plumber and his friend is a boiler guy and oil burner tech. Well, his friend needed someone to help him on a job and he asked my dad if he could borrow me for the day to help him on a job and of course he obliged. On this job was exactly the same, we put the boiler sections together in the basement and then piped and wired everything etc. Back in those days the boilers didn't come as packaged boilers, we had to put the whole thing together. Well, I liked doing the boiler / oil / gas burner work much more and my dads friend a few days later wanted to borrow me again and he did and I was eager to go on another boiler job. This happened half a dozen times or so and I told my dad that I was going to go work for his friend. My dad had no problem with it because he had my brother working for him too. I ended up working for his friend for the next 15 years or so and got my masters license. Now it's all package boilers unless it's commercial jobs and we did plenty of schools and churches etc over the years back then.

I loved that story push nipples are a thing of the past You needed your good back to do those

Thank you very much I appreciate that

Thanks Ian

Wow there’s a lot of sneaky techs Good that you caught it

Oh that’s frustrating Can you believe it didn’t have regulators

Nice and you got a happy meal

When Im setting these up, I set the manual reset limit control for 15 psi. If it has a low high low burner, I set the operating control for about 1-2 psi above the firing rate control. I set the firing rate control for my desired operating pressures. For example, If Im trying to operate between 10 and 12 psi, I will use the following settings. Manual reset limit control is set for 15 psi. The operating control to shut off around a pound less. 13.5-14 with a 2 psi differential. The firing rate control is set to shut off at 12 psi with a 2 psi differential. Good luck

@@boilerroomdetective Thanks. Upon further inspection, removing the cover of the pressuretrol, the diaphragm was damaged, (which we had a broken part in shipping, but thought that was it). It wasn't sitting square/plumb to the brass female fitting below it. Thats why sometimes you could just touch it and it would start up.

Thanks I appreciate it

Thank you her much

Thanks I do too

I didn’t see that Let me look in junk and I’ll respond tomorrow

Sorry

I couldn’t hear it as the kitchen was next to it You’re lucky I’m glad you heard it

I didn’t feel it at the time Adrenaline I guess but I was sore for a few days It felt like I was tackled by a big linebacker
