Common boiler feed system mistakes 

Thank you for your comment and support

Thanks I appreciate it

Yes sir I was thinking of adding it but didn’t want the video to be too long Thanks

Thanks for the feedback Rite boiler recommends it I think a single check valve should work I do use vacuum breakers on steam boilers

On all our large boilers we use 3/4” brass traps with a swing check installed backwards above the water column assembly

@@Mike-rm7vf that's a good idea Does the check valve leak?

@@boilerroomdetective it does not. The little bit of condensate in the brass trap keeps the swing check pushed closed when under pressure. I’ve used Hoffman #26s in the past and they usually bite the dust after a few years especially in an application that has an automated steam valve on steam supply causing the boiler to go into vacuum frequently.

@@Mike-rm7vf Thanks

You would have to ask a water treatment expert but if the boiler is running properly the chemicals don’t leave the boiler
