Title: Unhooking Boiler
Post by: owen15 on April 21, 2015, 05:51:33 AM

I am building a barn with a lean to. The lean to is going to be built over the boiler I have to move the boiler to get the poles set and run a tile underneath the lean to. Once the work is done I am going to put the unit back in its original spot on the slab of concrete.  Will disconnecting my boiler for about a month hurt anything? I have a Heatmaster MF3000.

You'll get some flash rust on the insides once the air meets the previously submerged metal. Maybe tip it slightly so it drains completely? Or you could drain it, move it, then refill once it;s sitting out of the way?
