Old boiler parts illustrations

Can I get pics of the original equipment issued with a certain type of boiler? I know how scarce product literature is, but I want to know what kind of burners they came with, and if the burners I found one with are original.

Probably not, unless it's not THAT old. But exactly what type of boiler is it?

This is a Johnston 509 3 pass.

Performed a goggle search and found this web site. I would contact Johnston Boiler for your specific information.

I did that first thing. Still waiting...

It appears that your referenced boiler is a fire tube scotch marine type with a MAWP of 125-150 psi. The type of burner will depend on the fuel used. Probably the boiler was fired w/ #4 oil and the boiler might have been fitted w/compressed air mixing burner.

Thanks. I gave them a call and they had the info handy. Turns out the burners were never changed (or at least they never recommended it or did the switch) No pics of the original burner, which I could have used, but nice to have official word.
