Muchkin Invades Local Home

          Private homeowner Bill Lockwood of Oxford, CT is thrilled to have a Munchkin in his house despite the rumored objections of the Wizard of Oz.  Mr. Lockwood called Plumbing Department Head Mr. Frank and asked that the plumbing for his new home be handled by the students at Emmett O’Brien.

     Junior and senior plumbing classes have been going to Mr. Lockwood’s residence since spring.  Sinks, showers, and toilets are being installed.

     In addition the plumbing students are working with the latest piece of equipment to hit the market, the Munchkin Boiler.  The plumbers have been learning about the efficiency and the advantage of the boiler’s newly revised compact design.

     The Munchkin Boiler is being used more and more in local homes to decrease homeowner’s fuel expenses.  This boiler modulates its firing rate to match the energy needs of the space surrounding it.

     The smaller size of the Munchkin Boiler makes positioning much less complicated.  The boiler weighs only one hundred and twenty five pounds.  The cast iron boilers of the past weighed up to six or eight hundred pounds.  The Munchkin is constructed to fit through standard doorways, making it easier to handle.

     If the homeowner enjoys one Munchkin, others can easily be added.  These ‘tiny tots’ take up so little space that they are made to hold one boiler on top of another.  This stacking benefit is attractive for buyers who are looking to avoid clutter.

     Other features of the Munchkin Boiler include stainless steel construction with a 316L heat exchanger, light design, fully modulating for ultra high efficiency, direct vent with standard schedule40 PVC for venting (eliminating the need for flue pipe and a chimney in the house); plastic pipe; quiet operation; state-of-the-art control; sealed combustion; and inspection for one hundred percent quality satisfaction.  This piece of equipment is a dream for plumbers and homeowners.

     Manufacturers of the Munchkin Boiler hope that environmentalists will run to stores and buy these mini marvels.  This particular boiler is environmentally friendly.  There is little doubt that this ‘rosy’ invention will be a future thorn in the side of the gas companies because the average gas bill for a hone with a Munchkin Boiler will be considerably lower than a bill for a home without this equipment.

     Richard Lopez, a plumbing senior, commented, “ I am honored to be learning and working with this new appliance, and I can’t wait to see our ‘little Munchkin’ in full operation.”  Richard and his classmates are working hard to complete this intriguing assignment.
