Description
BJSSV-6 Vertical 304 Stainless Steel Condensate / Boiler Feed System for 30–40 Boiler HP
The BJSSV-6 vertical 304 stainless steel condensate / boiler feed system is built for steam boiler applications that need a compact, corrosion-resistant boiler feed package in a vertical layout. This type of equipment is also commonly referred to as a condensate return system, return system, boiler feed system, feed system, makeup tank, or makeup water system, depending on the application and local terminology.
This system is designed for boilers from 30 to 40 HP and includes an 18" diameter x 42" high 304 stainless steel vertical tank, mounted stand, float valve assembly, gauge glass, and a factory-plumbed Burks CS-series pump package. The tank receives returning condensate from the process and holds fresh makeup water for boiler feed service.
In this style of condensate / boiler feed system, the pump is controlled by the boiler. When the boiler requires water, the boiler control activates the pump and moves water from the tank to the boiler. The float valve assembly controls makeup water entering the tank; it does not control pump operation.

Best Fit Applications
This compact system is built for small boiler rooms, tight mechanical spaces, and installations where a vertical condensate / boiler feed layout is preferred.
The 30–40 HP sizing range makes this a practical option for boiler applications needing more tank capacity than the 18" x 36" vertical systems while keeping a manageable vertical footprint.

Built for Compact Steam Boiler Feed Service in a Vertical Layout
The BJSSV-6 is a compact 304 stainless steel condensate / boiler feed system in the Rema Dri-Vac line. It is designed for boiler-controlled feed service, where the boiler activates the pump when water is required. The tank receives returning condensate and holds makeup water for the boiler.
In the field, this type of system may also be called a condensate return system, return system, boiler feed system, feed system, makeup tank, or makeup water system. These terms often overlap because the same package can receive condensate, hold makeup water, and feed the boiler.
Rema LLC separates this type of system from a condensate receiver system. A condensate receiver system typically fills with condensate and pumps out when the tank reaches a set level. This BJSSV-6 system is boiler-controlled.
If the system remains in service but the tank needs replacement later, the matching 18 x 42 vertical stainless replacement return tank provides a direct tank-only option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What boiler size is the BJSSV-6 designed for?
The BJSSV-6 is designed for steam boiler applications in the 30 to 40 boiler horsepower range.
Is this a condensate return system or a boiler feed system?
It is commonly referred to as both. Functionally, the BJSSV-6 is a boiler-controlled condensate / boiler feed system. The pump runs when the boiler control calls for water.
Is this the same as a condensate receiver system?
Not exactly. A condensate receiver system typically pumps out when the tank fills to a set level. The BJSSV-6 is controlled by the boiler and pumps water from the tank to the boiler when the boiler requires water.
What pump comes with the BJSSV-6 system?
This system can be configured with either the Burks 15CS5M single-phase pump or the Burks 315CS5M three-phase pump. Both are 1-1/2 HP, 3500 RPM turbine pump packages.
What tank size is used on the BJSSV-6?
The BJSSV-6 uses an 18" diameter x 42" high vertical 304 stainless steel tank with approximately 46 gallons of capacity.
What is a makeup tank?
In some boiler applications, the tank may be called a makeup tank or makeup water system because it holds fresh makeup water that replaces water sent to the boiler.
Can I buy the tank separately later?
Yes. The matching tank-only replacement is the 18 x 42 vertical stainless steel replacement return tank.
What is included with the BJSSV-6 condensate / boiler feed system?
The system includes the vertical stainless steel tank, mounted stand, makeup water float valve assembly, brass float valve, brass rod, 5" copper float ball, brass gauge glass fixtures with 10-3/4" gauge glass, the pump package, and factory plumbing including pipe nipples, gate valve, strainer, union, and boiler drain.
