Steam Heat

Steam Heat Boiler and Pipes

Darling daughter moved into a new rental yesterday. Found this very clean installation in the basement. I think this may be the first time I have actually seen a steam heat boiler. The place was built around about 1920 and is still in pretty good condition.

Why are copper pipes not insulated ?

Good question. They'll keep the boiler room warm for sure, and it's in the basement, so it's not like it's the heating the outside. Or maybe the plumber just thought it was too pretty to cover up.
