Boilers - Steam and Hot Water Systems - Peerless Purfire

I have a Peerless Purefire boiler (80,000 BTU). The hoses (#1 in picture) that connect from the "combustion chamber" and "vent system", to the tank, leak. I have tried tightening the plastic clamps that come with the boiler, and even used metal hoes clamps, but nothing has worked. Is there a better way to make sure that this does not leak?

Fernando, how old is your system? If not too old, I should think that there may be some sort of warranty in place?

It's one year old. I contacted the place it was bought and they suggested using a different clamp.

Today, I noticed that the leak had gone away (I adjusted the clamp), but there is still water between the two canisters, and the metal base of the boiler. Seems like there might be some condesation occuring, since the water in the canisters is hot, and the metal is cold. I was thinking of putting some sort of thermal break. Do you have any suggestions?

Did you purchase and install? or did they install?

I would think that if they installed, they would come and take a look. If you installed, I guess you get what you get...

Might try contacting Peerless... there may be a service bulletin on the leaking hoses.

Seems like there is no leak and the water, is actually condensation developing between the canisters (hot water inside) contacting the bottom of the boiler (cold metal).
