Just had Gateway in today for a gas leak that keyspan shut the whole building down for. They were very good overall with the work i will see when keyspan comes tonight if they fixed the job perfectly? cross my fingers
Thank you Master Plumber for your participation in this most informative series, I look forward to Part 2 and 3.
Brownstoner, what a brilliant idea! 🙂
Wonderful and clear! Question: why would we get plenty of steam in all of the lines coming up from the cellar except one? The lines going to the back of the house are fine. Of the two that come to the front, only one gets steam. Why? The vents have been checked and there is no problem with them.
Very good, now I know the name of all the little thingies in the basement.
BTW, who know that Mr. Brownstoner was so cuuuuttteee!
AWESOME!!!
The What and others are talking about the end of the world on one of the other channels and you guys are talking about steam boilers!
Which analogy should I use: deck chairs on the Titanic or Nero while Rome burns?
Thanks for the kind words, all you nice people.
I’m guessing a video for hot water boilers will be coming soon.
A note on pressure:
It takes one pound of pressure per square inch (psi) to raise water 2.36 feet, or about 27 inches.
Hot water systems only work when they’re full of water. So, the pressure required to bring water all the way to the highest radiator in a three or four story building will almost certainly be somewhere around 15-20 psi.
you should see some of the other guys at gateway – they are really hot!
Now THAT is useful… Hurrah…
How about a video on boilers that use hot water as opposed to steam?
