Need help with old 1930's American Radiator boiler

Posted by Richard Bradley on September 19, 2001 at 06:23:55:

I am contacting the list on the remote possibility someone may have information or assist me in obtaining a manual/instruction book about a fuel oil fired (may have originally been coal) steam radiator system manufactured, probably in the 1930's by American Radiator Company. Or perhaps someone has a similar system who can help.

I have purchased a home (built 1935) that has such a system that has been out of operation for a number of years. Not having much monry to employ a contractor, I want to clean the boiler and check out the basic components before I call one in to fire it up.

The boiler I have is:
American Radiator Company
No. 2 Ideal
Redflash Boiler
Number 2-5-6-H Series 12BJ11
Max W/P Lbs
Steam 15
Water 30

Thank you for any assistance you may provide,
Richard Bradley
