Sweet New Steam Boiler

This is what a replacement steam boiler looks like from the front.
Notice several things:
• The piping is black steel that is screwed together. Steam-carrying pipes should not be made of copper.
• Two vertical pipes come from the boiler and then drop down into a larger horizontal pipe as recommended by manufacturer.
• The vertical pipes that go up into the system are not between the two vertical boiler pipes. They are immediately to the left. This is important, believe it or not.
• The main electrical shut off switch is clearly labeled in red and accessible.
• The boiler is located close to the chimney.
• The return line behind the boiler has been replaced with copper.
• The automatic water feeder feeds the return pipe, not the boiler.
• The fresh water feed line is protected from boiler water contamination by a backflow preventor and check valve.
• A skim valve and plug are installed on the right side of the boiler to allow for removal of the inevitable collection of oils on top of the boiler water. The price of every steam boiler replacement must include a return trip after two weeks of use for skimming, inspection and tightening.
• On the lower left side, a secondary low water cut off device set in the piping protects the boiler from dry-fire and total loss of new boiler.
• The boiler piping includes union fittings for easy disassembly making future replacements and service simple jobs.

The left side is a whole other post and another picture.
