JR> What we see a lot of here, is water jackets for combustion heaters
JR> that are plumbed to augment the hot water services. Though these
JR> aren't without danger. A local family forgot to open the water valve
JR> and the water in the pipe in the firebox superheated and blew up the
JR> combustion heated. Unfortunately their kids were sitting near it at
JR> the time. The amusing aspect is the kids now sport tee shirts
JR> labeling them as "Blown up Kid#1" & "Blown up Kid #2"
Seems to me this problem could be averted by the use of a pressure-relief
valve, just like a commercial boiler. Some people tend to forget how
dangerous it can be to heat water in an enclosed space!
