kasterko Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I was a taken back when I saw the HVAC unit and water heater installed in the kitchen, a first for me. I checked the IRC and I believe I found the places they could not be, which didnââ¬â¢t include a kitchen. So, are there any technical or safety type reasons not to install these units in a kitchen? Also, Iââ¬â¢m having trouble determining the age of the Sears/Dunkirk boiler (series PW41 Model 229 963440 Serial 29830015). Thanks in advance.

Michael Carson Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I am looking in the Prestons Guide 1996-2001 Gas and Oil Boilers. I do not see the model no you are showing. I am looking on page 15 under the Sears. I found nothing under the dunkirk. In my report I would call it 10-15 years old. Seems to skip your particular numbers. Hope this helps a little.

Neal Lewis Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 By the look of the boiler, expansion tank, etc I would say it is at least 20-25 years old. Did you find a date code printed on the gas valve or expansion tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi, It was manufactured the 29th week of 1993. Here's a tip. The next time you need some information about something, save yourself some time and do a search of TIJ first. It could literally save you hours of time. Just click on home, and on the home page put your search term in the search box and search all forums. If you'd done that in this case, you would have found this post: https://www.inspectorsjournal.com/forum ... ms=dunkirk ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Terence McCann Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Mike, are you sure it's 1993 or is it 1983? Btw, that picture is a hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msteger Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yes, the 29th week of 1983. It's in the serial number. Nice setup in the kitchen. Nudge Nudge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasterko Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thanks guys. Enjoy the holidays Oh, Other than aesthetics, I guess there's no reason not to have a boiler and W/H in the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
