One of our sponsors, Dave at Cozy Heat is now a Tarm dealer in addition to still carrying the EKO line. Dave would like to get some pics of installations of both types of boilers, especially outdoor installs, if anyone has one (i.e., in a shed or other insulated enclosure). He wants to use them for promotional purposes.

If you want to contribute any pics, just post them here, and he can recover them directly or contact you for bigger files. Any questions, feel free to contact Dave directly through his website (top banner).

I’m bumping this thread. Doesn’t anyone want to share a pic or two of their setup? I’ll post one of mine when I get on the other computer.

Ok don’t rank to hard I’m missing some covers, the oil boiler does goes in the same chimney its not hooked up (oil tank gone) and flue is blocked off (plate on top of boiler under rag).  Another suggestion the green on the thermovar is from the threads leaking at install USE THE THREAD AND GOOP THEY GIVE YOU.

And here is my boiler. As you may be able to see, I still have some finish work to do inside, but I don’t want to get done too soon; then I have to work in the house!

I installed this Tarm on 1-2-2008. Very satisfied with unit once I figured out how to operate it properly. Thanks to this Forum for the guidance. Cresote stains on the wall below the chimney cleanout are not from this boiler.

Nice looking installation, Gene! Thanks for sharing.

And welcome to the Boiler Room. Glad we were able to help.
