Reply:He's not feeding me the rod u can see it my left hand. We do do it sometimes but that's usually in the convection box of the furnace way tighter than the fire box

Reply:Hey guy that is some boiler ! Tubes look like 2 1/2 or 3"  heavy wall pipe,that a HP power boiler?
Reply:its a olifin furnace. the plant makes gas, diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel. i think those tubes r 4" but they change sizes in the box and come in odd sizes sometimes. when the furnace is running the inside of that box gets to 1700%. tubes dont last long. they r schedule for a PM every 5 years but they r alway breaking. they have enough work to keep a permanant furnace crew. its like a year round turnaround. only 13 miles from the house. the money is good
