    Talking Scrapping Boilers [Answers]



    So I see some old threads about boilers but no real answers.

    My uncle is a plumber and gave me a boiler.

    He said you can have it but he strongly recommended taking it apart first.

    Basically a boiler can bring you around £150 ($235) scrap value each.



    Other than the steel/stainless steal casing there is high value inside.

    1. Copper Piping
    2. Special Type Of Copper Piece Which Is Worth £25 ($40)
    3. Brass fittings
    4. Stainless Steel/Steel Casing
    5. Copper Rods
    6. Copper Motors
    7. Gas Valves - Sell them as they are and don't scrap them. I recently pulled one like this here out of one.
    8. Aluminium Piping (Rare but can happen).

    All the above is what I pulled out of one boiler alone and would net me £150 ($235).

    How much parts are new to replace -
