How far does a coal boiler have to be from an oil fired boiler. ..I have 18 inches to play with...looking to install a key stoker ka 6

The boiler can be right next to the oil unit. It must be 5' or more from the oil tank if it's inside. Unless your in Canada then it's 3'.

10 feet from oil tank . No worries there....I'm still trying to get in contact with pacowy to try and get some finalized answers. ..but I want to ensure I can place the ka6 where I want it without issue

You should leave room to work around both boilers for repairs and service.

Totally agree. ...I could move 6 inches more. ..but I have a door to contend with entering my basement

I'm just going to run with it. ..I know the ka 6 is a fit....I can't get a response from the seller though

I realize that for sure....Everyone on here is very wonderful...Im just impatient is all....I will say that I could have one of everything that you all share! I would like a base burner....but I have to keep focus on a newer homer (9 years old) and get my priorities straight before I stray...I am a single dad and always have one of my sons...but I really am in love with the blue ladies! They are way more rewarding!

Yep he's a very busy guy. He bought some stuff from me and drove all the way from MA to PA to come get it. Of course it was some time from when he said he wanted it to when he actually got it but it was no biggie.

Sorta like a modern day Redd Foxx Sanford and Son used parts dealer. LOL He is true to his word.

Thanks Don, Whistlenut and Rick for your endorsements. And to Rick for making me laugh at the end of a long day. Sanford and Son.
