New boiler install


After an unexpected crack in our old boiler (came with the house, guessing it was 15-20 years old) we had our usual plumbing service company install this one today. It’s a Burnham Series 2 198k BTU standing pilot. After seeing MasterPlvmber’s pics of his installs tonight I’m feeling less confident about this install. Everything works and the house is warm on all floors. Is there anything here that looks wrong? I saw the notes about no copper. Is this a blanket rule that no pipe size, joining, etc can compensate for? Is the coil from the vent damper wrapping around the pipes going to be a problem? These are licensed plumbers we used and have had good experience with them over the years. Hopefully somebody can put my mind at ease (instead of making me kick myself for not taking time out to get other bids)
