General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Leak

« on: December 31, 2017, 05:53:56 PM »

Dec 25, my boiler had been shutdown for a day due to travel (to Campton NH!) I came back to a pinhole leak on the inside of the firebox, at the door ring, on the weld positioned about 7 o’clock.  I had a small fountain. My S-275 is about 17 years old. Drained it wire brushed it and I have used the JB weld on it. I am waiting to replace the pressure relief valve before I send water back out there. Have the valve but need the help of a plumber to remove the old one. Also waiting until it warms up a little, we are in frigid conditions where the daily highs have been single numbers. I’m afraid the water will freeze when it hits the exposed pipes and boiler.

I am very interested in what success you’ve had in fixing your leak.
