Compleat Boiler Room Training shows installers how to install outstanding boiler rooms. "We'll discuss sizing and near-boiler piping for both cast iron and modulating-condensing boilers," says Barba. This is an advanced training, two-day program covering the latest in controls and products, with extended hands-on opportunities for installers and designers.

Tuition for all Taco FloPro Factory Training course is $289 and includes two days of training, hotel accommodations for two nights, ground transport, meals and extras (though airfare to the host city is not included).
