yeah, it would be a 2 pole switch breaking both circuits at once. unless there's a contactor setup to do the switching, but that likely wouldn't pass code and still require a physically operated disconnect outside the room, which the switch suffices as. sparky code is pretty complex, especially with local codes added.
Those are standard QO style square d breakers. The ones with the test buttons are arc faults which at one time were only required on general use recepts and lighting. They went out of their way to make some people fill the panel with them which is not for their intended purpose. Their intended purpose is to monitor the circuit for faulty cords and lighting fixtures that some hack may have installed. Dedicated circuits, like boilers and other hard wired appliances don't need them and with inducer motors and compressors could trick the breaker into thinking there is a loose connection and will trip. We've seen this on fridge circuits maybe due to the fact the starting relay and capacitor may trick the breaker into thinking there is a loose connection being it clicks on and off. It doesn't happen all the time and is almost never repeatable. We had clients that would leave for a week and come back to a tripped breaker on the fridge and had ruined the fridge and of course all of the food inside. Needless to say they weren't happy but at one time it was code because the fridge plugged in and the inspector required us to install an arc fault on it. Square D made QO almost a hundred years ago in Lexington Kentucky and Detroit Michigan. Their panels and breakers of the 1960's and 1970's were some of the best equipment you could buy then and even now. The fun fact is that you can interchange them with older series into newer panels. The Quick Open technology they had then was the safest most reliable breaker you could buy. These breakers would open so fast, you'd be hard pressed to make an arc from shorting them out. I had GE breakers explode shooting sparks all over the place by accidental shorting wires out and had destroyed the end of my screw driver with them. GE made a lot of different breakers for many different markets but they mostly all used the same tripping mechs. Square D was bought out by Schneider and they went to crap soon after. Making breakers in China and mexico they cheapened up the internals and oftentimes would steal the UL listing from the older American made breaker to get it approved to be used in your home. Make no mistake, these are not QO breakers but a copy of what they once were. These breakers would fail all of the time causing callbacks and nuisance tripping not even close to their rated current. Their panel boards are just Homeline junk with a different buss installed. The old panels were deburred and smoothed out preventing nasty cuts and scrapes when installing them. The new junk now has jagged plastic wire gutters and sharp edges all over. I just installed a QO panel not to long ago and it was so whomped out and lop sided I was embarrassed at installing. There were spot welds that weren't fully welded and the door wouldn't even close right. Same with their Homeline series. Seeing the copper coated cheap chinese pot metal buss de laminating on a brand new panel is just terrible. I wouldn't install any of this junk and would find an old QO from the 60's and 70's fully loaded with old breakers before I install any of this crap now.
DPST switch, double pole switch.... easy. If anyone hooked that switch up the neutral and seeing the two boiler breakers next to each other indicates they are on different legs, that would mean that you would then have 240V between the two boilers and fry shit. AKA open neutral. Now, if they were both on the same leg, no 240V, no fried shit, but still never, ever switch a neutral off.
Likely that outside red switch has contactors (sounded like a thump) which connects and disconnected both boiler circuits. Use these contractors in many large buildings so one switch turns off multiple circuits

I would install a double throw switch on the hot leg of each circuit, or given the $$$ there, install relay switches so that the switch cuts power, and opens the relays cutting both circuits. Basically what i did in my barn, to have 1 switch for 4 light circuits.
As long as that home has pretty average water pressure (55psi or so), those ST12’s are spec’d perfectly for those tanks. I’m sure the guy who installed that art work in the boiler room knew how to size the thermal expansion tanks. Gorgeous install there.
An impressive piece of copper. Is it possible that the switch in the hall simply feeds a safety relay which the whole room flows through? Is it also possible that the 2 boilers are on one circuit unit and all of the pumps are on the other circuit?
Thats a standard QO breaker. The AFCIs are similar with a white reset button. Im thinking the E switch in the hallway is a Double Pole Single Throw DPST switch. basically 2 switches in one that can have 2 separate circuits on the line side and in turn sends power to each units E switch individually. thats why it will kill both units but the other one remained on with the hallway switch on but your unit you're working on was off because the circuit tripped.
yeah, just standard circuit breakers in there, thermal/magnetic trip type. no afci/gfci's in sight and they wouldn't be on dedicated heating system feeds anyway.
Wow that sure is a Boiler System and Thanks For Watching My live the other Day. It made my Day because your one of my favorite HVAC guys that I watch on UA-cam and in a few years once I have money I might move out to Long Island and Work for you because just from watching your videos you seem like a fun boss but Serious and strict when it’s time to be and you kinda remind me of my uncle some because you both look similar
I'm guessing double pole switch too but more importantly, man alive, what a manifold. (I just spent 6h removing a leaky section of pipe from my hot water system, and decided to make a manifold and run some PEX, now I have several shut-off valves if another leak turns up. And this being a 140 year old house there is always another leak.)
so, what tripped the breaker, very unlikely it just randomly tripped. although it's possible a big power surge could have caused it, depending on the loading of devices at the time.
Circuit 30 and 32 would give you 220 volts at the painted wall switch ....so he installed a 20 amp double pole switch that interrupts the power to both switches at the furnaces which are both 110volts. Neutrals are just made together .
install them right and they aren't a problem and they just might prevent your house from burning down. I have like 25 in my house and nuisance trips are pretty rare.
At the emergency switch I believe they used a double pole switch 120 volts on one side termnals and 120 volts on the other If so in the panel should be a double pole breaker
How many square feet is this joint? 620k Btu's of boiler, 300 gal of indirect hot water what is this a hotel. A 50 gal indirect can do 225 gal first hour just how much hot water do you need? With a 50 gal indirect on a 200k btu boiler I can run 3 showers, 2 dishwashers, and a clothes washer simultaneously and not run out of water why would you need 2 150 gal?
impressive for residential.breakers shit the bed too some times.with the amount of pump and controls four breakers,two boilers,two control circuits would help with load and signifantly reduce the time to figure out which item groung or crapped out
Modern QO junk can have erratic tripping points. Some may trip at 10 amps or 12 amps, some trip at 25 amps. It all depends on how much heat makes it to the bi-metallic strip inside the breaker. Also having a loose breaker will most certainly cause it to trip. I've seen loose screws on a breaker cause it to heat up prematurely and trip.
Mike why don't you send the brothers to OIL burner repair class. I would think that would be a smart business move. There still has to be a majority of oil than gas homes in your service area. I think it's a no brainer way to increase your revenue. If Steve Lav can do it so can you and your guys. ???
119 is largest tank before ASME specs come into play. Anything larger is like an ar-500 steel tank weighing over 600 pounds easy at 150 gal capacity empty. Usually need to be in a parapet 6"
Mikey why don't you get a T-former? That's how they made that header. There's a mega press style t-drill and obv the standard one. Did they spray paint those ball valves? I've never seen all copper ball valves
You could tell which way it is, by resetting the CB and then using the noncontact tester on the hot wire feeding the boilers. If hot is switched, the black wire will be dead. If neutral is switched, the hot wire will be hot, but the boiler can't run, because there is no neutral path.
@Walter Bordett you went to my next step. I've seen a ton of hack work, and things don't shock me at all anymore, I for sure would hope for the pricetag attached to that system that they would wire it properly. The emergency switches at the boilers are used as a local disconnect means for the power, where the one in the hallway provides a means of shutting down both in the event of a true emergency
@Mikey Pipes - Pipe Doctor Plumbing & Heating & Air considering how much time and effort went into the beautiful looking system I certainly hope they didn't hack it at the end. I appreciate what you do for sure. Keep the awesome videos coming please🙂👍👍
Oh my Jesus. Weil McLain ultra's? I hate those god damned things. Clean pipe work, I'll say that. It would look a lot better with copper stubs through the wall. Why not injection mix it and up size the primary loop? Im not trying to shit on obvious craftsmanship. Its clear someone who knew what they were doing installed that. Thats pretty rare nowadays.
since the 2 breakers are next to one another, if you broke neutral the systems would try to feed off one another (floating neutral bad) could cause both system to act weird or "fail spectacularly". The only way that would be legal would be to have the switch control 2 separate contactors. You can't run 2 circuits through a 2 pole switch legally as far as I can remember.
Anytime you share a neutral you need to tie it or bond it at every box location together to prevent at all necessary a floating condition. I for one run a separate neutral to each 120v circuit if I was using a multi-wire circuit. Don't be cheap when you are charging the customer, spend the extra 10 dollars and run a neutral for every multi-wire circuit that is combined to make 2 120v circuits. In this scenario someone wanted to be smart and minimize the work they needed to do installing 2 switches and just ran both poles to one switch. It's not a bad idea but sharing neutrals can be.
This is the answer. The emergency shutdown is always better on a switch that interrupts gas valve. Even on multiple boilers, they make buttons or switches that can have literally 10 small contactors behind the switch in the J box, that all control each boiler, and it's 24v gas valve circuit.
