00Overview
Scroll through a typical Ontario boiler room. Each part is highlighted with the brand Metro Thermal Supply Inc. represents for it, so engineers, wholesalers and contractors can see the whole plant in one place. Tap a number to jump to a part.
01B-1 · B-2 · Heat source
[Boiler brand]Placeholder brand
Two floor-standing condensing boilers on a concrete housekeeping pad, sharing the load and backing each other up. They modulate to match demand and condense flue gas to recover extra heat.
02V-1 to V-4 · Venting
[Venting brand]Placeholder brand
Every boiler has its own sealed two-pipe vent: a stainless steel exhaust and a separate fresh-air intake, both run up through the roof. The boilers never burn room air.
03G-1 · G-2 · Fuel
[Gas valve brand]Placeholder brand
Yellow gas piping drops to each boiler with a manual shutoff, a regulator vented to outdoors and a drip leg that catches debris before it reaches the burner.
04RV-1 · RV-2 · Safety
[Relief valve brand]Placeholder brand
Each boiler has its own relief valve, piped with a drip pan elbow down to a floor drain so a lift never sprays the room.
05LWCO-1 · LWCO-2 · Safety
[Safety controls brand]Placeholder brand
A probe on each boiler supply shuts the burner down if the water level drops, protecting the heat exchanger from dry firing.
06P-1 · P-2 · Boiler loops
[Circulator brand]Placeholder brand
A dedicated circulator on each boiler return keeps flow through the heat exchanger whenever that boiler fires.
07T-1 · T-2 · Instruments
[Gauge brand]Placeholder brand
Industrial thermometers on the supply and return headers, plus pressure gauges on the pump discharges, so a tech can read the plant at a glance.
08AS-1 · Water quality
[Separator brand]Placeholder brand
A floor-standing separator pulls air and dirt out of the system water. An automatic vent on top releases the air and the blowdown valve at the bottom flushes the dirt.
09ET-1 · Pressure
[Expansion tank brand]Placeholder brand
A floor-standing bladder tank absorbs the water’s expansion as it heats and keeps system pressure steady. It connects at the separator, the point of no pressure change.
10CF-1 · Water treatment
[Water treatment brand]Placeholder brand
A bypass feeder piped around the system pumps lets the service tech add corrosion inhibitor to the system water without shutting anything down.
11BF-1 · PRV-1 · Make-up water
[Backflow brand]Placeholder brand
A reduced-pressure backflow preventer protects the city water supply, with a pressure-reducing valve and a water meter to track how much make-up water the system takes.
12WS-1 · Water treatment
[Softener brand]Placeholder brand
A resin tank with its own brine tank takes the hardness out of incoming water, protecting heat exchangers and the hot water tank from scale.
13MV-1 · Temperature control
[Mixing valve brand]Placeholder brand
A motorized three-way valve low on the piping blends hot supply with cooler return water from the bypass, so the building loop gets exactly the temperature it needs.
14P-3 · P-4 · Distribution
[Pump brand]Placeholder brand
A duplex pair of vertical inline pumps with integrated variable-speed drives. One runs, one stands by, and they swap duty to even out the wear.
15SD-1 · FC-1 · Pump fittings
[Pump fittings brand]Placeholder brand
Suction diffusers straighten the flow and strain out debris at each pump inlet. Braided stainless flex connectors on the discharges stop vibration and noise travelling down the piping.
16Isolation and check valves
[Valve brand]Placeholder brand
Gear-operated butterfly valves isolate the boilers and pumps for service, and check valves on the pump discharges stop backflow through the standby pump.
17BV-1 · BV-2 · Balancing
[Balancing valve brand]Placeholder brand
Set and verify the flow through each pump. Test ports let the balancer read the flow directly with a meter during commissioning.
18HX-1 · Heat transfer
[Heat exchanger brand]Placeholder brand
Stainless plates pass heat from the boiler loop to a separate circuit, such as a glycol snow-melt loop or domestic water, without the two fluids ever mixing.
19BAS-1 · Controls
[Controls brand]Placeholder brand
The boiler plant controller stages the boilers, runs the pumps and reports to the building automation system. Fused disconnects on the wall feed the pumps.
20GD-1 · Life safety
[Gas detection brand]Placeholder brand
A wall-mounted detector watches for natural gas and carbon monoxide and can shut the boilers down. The red emergency shut-off sits right below it.
21CN-1 · Condensate
[Neutralizer brand]Placeholder brand
Both boilers drain their acidic condensate through a neutralizer that raises its pH before it reaches the floor drain.
22Headers · Insulation
[Insulation brand]Placeholder brand
The supply and return headers are insulated and jacketed in white PVC to cut heat loss and keep the room cooler.
23DHW-1 · Domestic hot water
[Water heater brand]Placeholder brand
Stores domestic hot water for the building, with a thermostatic mixing valve on the outlet to prevent scalding, a recirculation pump to keep hot water at the taps and its own relief valve.
24UH-1 · Space heating
[Unit heater brand]Placeholder brand
Hung from the deck and fed from the heating loop, it keeps the boiler room itself warm and protects piping from freezing near the louvre.

One rep. Technical and sales.
Technical sales
We can talk ΔT, pump curves and coil selection with an engineer, then price and lead time with the contractor.
Specification
We meet consulting engineers early, so your product is named as the basis of design and holds its place through the bid.
Wholesale training
Lunch-and-learns and counter days, so the people behind the counter know when to suggest your product and how to quote it.
Field support
Startup visits, troubleshooting and warranty follow-through. Contractors buy again from the line that answered the phone.
Bringing a line to Ontario
We learn the product, pricing and competition, train on the equipment, and agree on targets for the territory.
Introductions to the engineers, wholesalers and contractors who fit the product, with literature and samples in hand.
Selections, cut sheets and submittal packages that get your product written into mechanical specs.
We quote, follow up and work with your inside sales team on orders, freight and lead times.
Commissioning help, first-fire checks, troubleshooting and warranty handling on site.
Regular updates on quotes, wins, losses and what the market is asking your product to do next.
