    Hello All,
    I just picked up a 1981 Jensen 100,000 BTU wood boiler at a swap meet for $100. It looks to be in great shape. I still need to pressure test it though. Is 30PSI a sufficient pressure to work with? I plan to install it at my Fiancee's house and parallel it with the existing burnham boiler. There is an extra flue in the chimney that was never used. Initially we were going to put a woodstove in the L/R, but the option of 2 zones of heat in addition to domestic hot water fired by wood made us change plans. In addition, there might be a brand new amtrol 40 Gal Indirect water heater available for a reasonable price. Would the Amtrol make a sufficient dump zone or should I add a Fan/coil unit in the(one bay) garage? I have looked on this site for a manual for the Jensen and haven't had much luck. Anyone have a PDF of this manual that they could send me? Any help would be greatly appreciated as well as any guidelines/diagrams for tying this system in.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I have the same boiler and I also have the manual for it. Right now its just a hard copy but I could scan it in or send me a IM with your mailing address and I can mail you a hard copy. I'm working the next couple of days so it will be a couple before I get a chance to scan it.

    What an odd thread. All new users exhanging manuals on a 30 year old boiler.

    Good luck with your installs, folks!
