One of these valves is not needed to keep proper pressure, but it certainly helps!

The only pressure in a steam boiler is made by the steam itself when the boiler is running to heat your home. A hot water boiler is a totally different animal. It should always have 12 psi when the system is idle, and the pressure could rise up to 25 psi when the system is running.

Please feel free to contact me directly by going to this link http://cjplumbingandheating.com/contact-us/ if you have any other questions!

Thanks for visiting the site!
CJ

The answer is absolutely yes. All fuel heating systems require a plug-in carbon monoxide detector with a battery backup in the event of a power outage. Also, make sure you have smoke detectors with fresh batteries. Thanks for reading. We appreciate your support!
