Question,  on boilers that have “flues” on the belly of the boiler aka in the fire box, those are nearly impossible to remove water from, and you can’t hold a 50 pound steam plant upside down to remove it.


What is the best way?

Not a problem in the copper tubes..... Dezincification only happens to brass parts and fittings.
