I was wondering the same. He's far more knowledgeable than this plunger jockey, that's for sure.


X2..
Elks much obliged and I’m following along as time permits here so please bear with me...

I’m picking up all of what you are putting down. A small point to make tho, I am part of the maintenance dept for our district so there are no company costs or profit per se.. but for the purpose of getting this right that is largely irrelevant.

Truth is despite how spot on you may be there’s likely little chance of “us” pursuing this as you say. Sad but true

A question then based on your observations..
Could not the same thing be accomplished by sourcing a true 2 1/2” pump assembly? B&G does not appear to make one but at a quick glance TACO does..

Assuming we don’t pursue and get compensated for a damn thing...the 3” FPE would be costly as I recall these 2 1/2 were I think over a grand each and we have 6 in the district that would ideally need to be replaced.. add fittings into that and $$

Ok, I hear you now, you're the maintenance for the district.

2.5 TACO's could solve your issue, "IF" they fill the boiler requirements for GPM, etc. You need to look at the specs for the boiler, to see what the MIN / MAX is, to ensure it will work. Hell call the supply house, and get them to look it up, well maybe not......you check it.
