Mike your shirt says Master Plumber, I think that's an understatement.

a few things, in 1978 working in Boston, we gutted a burnt out condo that was steam heat. The fittings were cast iron just like those are (thick shoulder) and we would back up the fitting with an 8LB sledge hammer and smash them to pieces with a single blow of a 2LB hammer...done, secondly, that main steam vent was not located properly IAW Dan Holohan, it should have been 15" back and 6" up on a riser, that "BULLHEAD TEE" may kill the vent after the first pass, according to Dan. Then insulation is vital to keep dry steam. just an observance because I know you are familiar with his steam practices.

Those VXT’s are good for the lazy or infirmed…….people should take interest in their Home heating system and proactively check water levels for the proper functionality of their unit. Especially a Steamer! Great work as always, Mikey!

How crazy is this that the FIRST BUSINESS DAY OF THE MONTH OF APRIL YOU DO A SYSTEM FOR ME - someone who has had lifetime autism/aspergers (what they used to call level 1 autism). I am mind blown. Months of hell lead to this, months of suffering mentally from moms death. I honestly dont know how i did it. Im so excited. ALL LOVE!

So crazy I commented before seeing the repair, I made almost the same exact repair today on appx 7.25’ of 2” steam pipe in a very nice woman’s basement. I also replaced 4 steam main vents that were miss placed at the drops from the dry returns just like at this house, small world Sr. Pipes, lets make this ish great again:)

Hello Mike, You make mention of the poor or non existent draft as a combustion air problem which it could be, but I believe you would have seen it in your combustion analysis, this can be a chimney issue with poor draft. We’re making the trades great again. Another great educational video.

it amazes me how people neglect their investments that make life comfortable until they dont have hot water or heat. every time i do laundry, i give the boiler and hot water heater a look over. i never used to pay attention to my heating equipment until i started watching plumbers on yt and seen how much neglecting things can cost when its so easy to upkeep with a little maintenance.

umm, how do you expect there to be negative pressure on that side of the large open draft hood, in overtop sections/burners? it should pretty much be zero there. now on the other side at flue pipe/damper, that for sure has to be negative or you'd get spill-out from the hood. unless I missed you moving the wand for draft test, maybe a brain fart day? 🤪 we all have them.
