Hi All,
I just had a quick question about the size of the job to replace the front gasket on my boiler.
The sweating shouldn't be an issue for me, but I am a little worried about draining the boiler.
Also the construction of the internals after the plate is removed concerns me, I am not sure what to expect
from the thermostat, and how the front plate will actually remove. So I was hoping that someone with
experience could tell me whether I can DYI this, or if I should leave it for a pro.
The boiler is a:
Trianco Heatmaker
Serial: 1093-1199
Model: DBC-85
Are there torque specs for the plate?
Possibly the cause of the failure was over tightening?
The gasket from the side, looks water logged:
Front shot:
Right side, not leaking:
Thanks in advance!
James
