    Boiler Stuck On Standby

    Loose wires are for the make-up water not hooked up. That’s next and shouldn’t impact this issue.

    Boiler Stuck On Standby

    More info : Thermostat wires (2) are wirenutted to the wire pair coming from the aquastat and go to a transformer - R and G terminals. When I flip the burner emergency switch to provide power, the transformer clicks once, strong.

    Boiler Stuck On Standby

    Thank you for the reply. I have the same instructions. Came with the part. Here’s the rub. This boiler was performing very well for 8 years. I wired the new parts the same way as the original parts. I don’t understand why it fired up 4 days ago but won’t fire today. Thermostat wires are wired...

    Regulating Hot Water Temperature and Aquastat ?!?

    I manage 4 townhouses which have identical plumbing systems/ layouts. So, if a problem comes up in one unit, there's a good chance that it's bound to come up in the others. This solution can potentially be applied to each of the 4 townhouses, which are only 5 years old. One client is telling...

    Burnham Boiler Pauses Making Hot Water

    We have a Burnham MegaSteam Boiler MST629. It provides steam to radiators and hot water to 3 full bathrooms. There is no recirculating pump. The wait for hot water really isn't that bad. Boiler kicks in 20 seconds after a hot water is turned on and stays on as long as the valve is open. The...

    McDonnel 67 etc

    I have a year old Burnham MegaSteam boiler MST629. Full disclosure - it was installed on the cheap. Part 1: Old unit, a Peerless, had a McDonnel Series 67 Low Water cut-off which I used to flush for 3 secs, until it ran clear, once/ week. The new Burnham uses a CycleGard Low water cut-off...

    Yes, agreed, there are better and more modern ways to create a shower pan, but here in NYC, Building Architects specify lead pans be used. We often petition for waivers by providing specifications and test data for approval of more current methods, but in a full renovation we need to pick our...

    Lead Pan and Repair

    We recently completed a project where our plumber installed a lead shower pan. Now, the client would like to change the drain to a different type rough which requires penetrating the lead pan. Plumber says he can't warranty the modification because of penetrating the lead pan and he would...
