Ah, the old Winkler. Made GREAT boat moorings out our way! That one looks like it's in an old Columbia boiler??? I thought all those old things were gone years ago. Borg Warner, now York, if I recall correctly. Never ran worth a darn on #2, let alone perfume or peanut oil as originally claimed!

do yourself a favor, walk away from that death-trap

Big time Fail!

I think Cody would agree with you!!

They thought it was a cold air trap so it wouldn't backdraft cold air into the unit/home at standby. Guess they overlooked that little thing about venting and CO....

Boy I'm glad I don't have to work on that old crap.

big miss

A downflue installation? I'm really glad I don't work on residential.

I am so so sorry you had to see that. I wrecking ball is in order.

if you touch it it'll break down. just leave it...lol. did it meet the code and the time of installation? if yes, it could be grandfathered in...

That's looks like one I'd sell

OOPs, that work is older than me. It's just that the cellar looked like the old homestead's one.

The barometric damper is the kicker!

Pure awesome.

Sweet...hasn't killed anybody yet has it..???

I thought the cellar looked kinda familiar with the rock foundation.

Then I saw the location, Lancaster, my home town.

.....and the "Dip Stick" forgot the dip stick!!

It's weird, i tell ya. It would have run like this for a very long time. I don't understand how flue products are supposed to go downhill. Maybe it's a low pressure thing?!??

Hey, I know whats wrong, He forgot the drip leg.

Just a thought....The barometric damper had to be at a level below the top of the boiler?

OR, too much beer, no installation manual.
