: : I have 3 Cleaver Brooks 700hp boilers.
: : Model # CB100-700-150
: : I've noticed some combustion gas leaking out of the bottom of the rear door on one of them. We found a small bored hole at the very bottom of the door approx 1/4 in diameter. The other two have this as well but are not leaking any gas. I've never noticed these before and am wondering what they are for. Maybe cheater holes?
: : Thanks
: The leak is most likely from a warped rear head causing the outer door gasket to leak. Or just a bad gasket.
Thanks Rick. Actually the rear door was loose and leaking which was why I was snooping under there in the first place. The door is sealed now but I still have gas coming out of this little hole. I have never noticed this hole on these or any other boilers and Im curious as to why they are there.?????
