Boiler Age

[Barbara Longman]

I want to know the approx age of a National US Sunray boiler model 4-19A/o/o/op. The house its in is 54 years old. I want to know if there is asbestos anywhere in there.

Most likely, did have any pictures? Only way of telling is testing by a Lab

Where do you find a lab that will do this? Is this a cast iron boiler?

Barbara, look up Asbestos or Environmental Services in the yellow pages to get numbers of local companies that do asbestos testing and removal.

Do you have a picture of the boiler on your computer? You can upload it into your post by clicking on the paper clip (attachment) icon above it.

Usually, your local health department or your state's department of natural resources will have labs that will test for asbestos.
