Herb;
I hope I make it this time. This is my 3rd try at
a reply. 1st one evaporated, got called away in the middle of the 2nd.
You hit the nail right on the head with the try-cock sugestion. It scares the heck out of me to get on someone's engine and find that the try-cocks are so corroded they can't be moved.
Closing the bottom cock and washing the glass down
should be a regular practice. But double checking with the gage cocks will make you a lot more comfortable about the boiler condition.
Jim
