Don’t Reinstall a Boiler Float Head Until You Do This - Weekly Boiler Tip

Pulling and inspecting float heads is a yearly boiler maintenance task, but getting them reinstalled correctly matters just as much as inspecting them.

In this Weekly Boiler Tube, Richie breaks down three key things that help prevent leaks, cracked float heads, and repeat repairs: proper surface preparation, clean bolt holes, and even gasket compression using a star pattern.

Skipping the prep may save a few minutes upfront, but it can cost you a lot more time if the gasket does not seal and you have to start over.
