180 sound right, but I would have thought 140 labor and 40 part. That seems to be the ratio when I have something done. |

Norman,
The older style back folw had large nuts, which it look like that 's what you have . The newer style will have much smaller nuts.
So what you will have to do is remove(un screw) the end pieces and use all parts from the new one. Not real hard.
Shut off power to boiler
shut off feed valve to boiler
close any valves to the radiators
drain pressure off bolier, watch pressure guage should only be about a couple gallons.
un do unions and replace valve.
be careful it will have a arrow with flow direction.
If you have any problems give me a call
Jeff

I think 140 for that part is kinda high, you should be able to follow Jeffs directions and do it yourself, or pay jeff to do it. it is kinda far for me to drive for 40 bucks. it will cost that in gas

Mission successful.$54 for the part and 0 for labor and a 1/2 hour of my time.
I can't believe Santoro oil really wanted $184 to do this.What a racket.

They mark up the parts + labor, but everyone has a right to earn a living I guess. I did a mixing valve once(a distant uncle of mine was a plumber by trade/retired, and he stood by my side the whole time), saved over $300 just on the parts alone. Honest days work, always pays off. |
