A place where high-pressure salespeople use banks of telephones to call lists of potential investors (known as a "sucker lists") in order to induce them to purchase speculative securities, sometimes called "the stock of the day" that the firm has a large inventory of, to be unloaded at significant profit to the brokerage. It is called a boiler room as an analogy to a pressure cooker due to the high-pressure selling.

Yes. All contributions made to the Boiler Room Theatre are 100% tax deductible. Please see our HELP BRT webpage for more information.

The boiler, manifolds and piping usually require only a 4' x 2?' space. The boiler itself is very compact with an 18" x 18" footprint. Because it is extremely quiet, it doesn't require a separate boiler room. Many clients have the boiler installed in laundry rooms or closets. It vents horizontally and thus requires placement next to an exterior wall. The outside vent is small and inconspicuous, but should be placed away from living spaces such as decks, patios, open windows, etc.

All of the companies we contract with offer full-service contracts. A standard contract covers parts and labor, annual tune-up and cleaning and vacuuming, as well as emergency service. No. NYPIRG membership consists of a tax-deductible contribution of $30 or more. Fuel Buyers Group is a NYPIRG program that NYPIRG members can participate in.

All local, state and federal codes must be met by the installer. Those codes vary from location and state and application. In most cases a boiler with a capacity above 200,000 BTU per hour must be installed by a contractor with the appropriate licenses and insurance. In many states however, those codes do not apply if the usage is to provide heating for growing or raising livestock or poultry or for greenhouse heating applications.

A - Select option A on the BIS Menu, Building Information Search. You will be directed to the Building Information Search screen. You will need to enter the precise address (house number and street name) of the desired property, or the block and lot number or the Building Identification Number (BIN). You will be directed to the Property Profile Overview screen.

We offer both private and semi-private rooms. If you would prefer to reserve a private room, please inform us at the earliest possible time to insure that space will be available.

Rooms with a two digit number are in the School of Education, either in the 302 complex or the new 320 office.

Yes, this is entirely possible. Temperature control is the issue. You can use one of our heat exchanges to change the steam to hot water. Then you can use a mixing valve to control temperature of the hot water. You may want to consider the use of a safety control.

The Boiler Challenge is scheduled on a request basis. This means that you tell us when you want to plan your visit...any day of the week, and as long as another group does not have that time, we will do everything in our power to get you scheduled during a time that's best for you. Remember, this is an outdoor activity, so it must be during daylight hours, and weather could play a factor.

Time slots fill in quickly, so it's best to get your request in as soon as you can. We ask that you put in your schedule request at least two weeks prior to your preferred date so that proper arrangements can be made.

It won't be the Fuel Buyers Group who cleans your boiler. You will call the oil company assigned to you to arrange the tune and clean. NYPIRG negotiates with local oil companies in your area. Our agreements vary from company to company, so the price with your company wouldn’t necessarily be the same as the price of that a member with a different company.

Boiler exemptions are no longer required. Despite the introduction of the PECPR Regulations in 1999, certain parts of the Boilers, Lifts and Cranes Act 1950 remained effective. Because of this, it was necessary in order to operate a boiler in unattended or limited-attendance mode to be issued with an exemption from section 37(3) of the Act. The Boilers, Lifts, and Cranes Act was repealed on 16 January 2006, and as a consequence these exemptions are no longer issued.

A combi system does not have a hot water tank. Mains pressure water is heated on demand and directed to your hot taps.

A condensing boiler pre-warms up the new combustion air which is drawn through the balanced flue, using the waste heat in the flue gases. This heat recovery makes them more efficient and cheaper to run. Cooling the waste gases causes the water they contain to condense out, hence the name.

To clean a steam boiler, use one pound of trisodium phosphate for every fifty gallons of water content. Heat the boiler to 180 degrees F; hold at 180 degrees F for two hours. Do not allow the boiler to make steam. After two hours, drain the boiler and fill with fresh makeup water. Water treatment chemicals should be thoroughly reviewed before they are introduced into the boiler. Foaming agents that will interfere with steam action are of particular concern.

Yes! It is still possible to have a conventional floor-standing, wall-mounted or back boiler fitted. Some installers may find it easier to fit combis and suggest – incorrectly – that other types of boiler can no longer be fitted. There is still a place for this type of boiler and they are likely to be available for some time to come.
