Custom Boiler Room Equipment & Non-OEM Replacement Tanks
Not every boiler room can use a standard tank or packaged system. Rema builds custom boiler room equipment for installations that require special tank dimensions, modified connection locations, replacement tanks for older systems, or fabrication to fit existing piping and floor space. We also build non-OEM replacement tanks for older or unsupported condensate return and boiler feed systems when the original supplier no longer offers the size or layout needed.
This work is common when replacing obsolete receiver tanks, matching an existing footprint, upgrading from steel to stainless steel, or solving mechanical room limitations that make standard equipment difficult to install. Instead of forcing the system to adapt to a stock tank, custom fabrication allows the equipment to fit the application.
Custom Work for Older, Obsolete, and Unsupported Equipment
Many facilities still operate older boiler feed and condensate return systems that were installed years ago and no longer match standard replacement sizes. In smaller-capacity applications especially, owners and contractors often need a practical replacement tank when the original manufacturer no longer supports that size, lead times are too long, or only the tank has failed while the rest of the system remains usable.
Rema manufactures non-OEM replacement tanks for systems originally supplied by other manufacturers. These tanks are built around the existing application using available dimensions, connection details, photos, and system information. This approach helps customers keep older systems in service without replacing more equipment than necessary.
Common Boiler Room Problems That Require Custom Equipment
Boiler rooms often develop layout and replacement challenges over time. A new standard tank may not fit the available space, nozzle locations may not align with the existing piping, or the original receiver tank may no longer be available in the size required. Custom fabrication solves these problems by matching the real installation instead of forcing a compromise.
- Replacement tanks needed for older or unsupported systems
- Undersized or oversized receiver tanks
- Non-standard piping connection locations
- Limited mechanical room space
- Obsolete, damaged, or rusted receiver tanks
- Custom stands or mounting structures
- Steel or stainless steel fabrication requirements
- Tank-only replacements where the pump or controls may still be reused
Types of Custom Steam Equipment We Build
Custom fabrication allows the equipment to match the system requirements as closely as practical. Depending on the application, we can build new tanks or modify layouts to suit field conditions and existing equipment.
- Custom condensate return tanks
- Custom receiver tanks
- Non-OEM replacement tanks for older systems
- Custom stands and support frames
- Modified piping layouts and connection arrangements
- Steel tank fabrication
- 304 stainless steel tank fabrication
- Replacement equipment built to match existing installations
What We Can Typically Match
Each project is reviewed individually, but many custom replacement jobs start with matching the basic layout of the existing tank or system. Depending on the information available, Rema can often work from dimensions, photos, and connection details to build a practical replacement solution.
- Overall tank dimensions
- Approximate gallon capacity
- Horizontal or vertical orientation
- Inlet, outlet, vent, overflow, and drain locations
- Gauge glass openings
- Float assembly mounting area
- Pump mounting arrangement or footprint
- Steel or stainless material options
When Standard Equipment Does Not Fit
Standard equipment works well in many installations. However, some boiler rooms have unusual piping layouts, older equipment footprints, or space restrictions that make off-the-shelf products a poor fit. In those cases, custom fabrication can simplify installation, reduce field modification, and improve long-term serviceability.
This is especially useful when replacing older receiver tanks where the original size is no longer readily available, or when a customer wants to upgrade from steel to stainless steel while keeping the existing application.
How the Custom Fabrication Process Works
- Send photos, drawings, dimensions, or application details.
- We review the installation layout, tank size, and connection requirements.
- Fabrication details are confirmed based on the replacement or custom application.
- The equipment is manufactured and shipped.
What to Send for a Replacement Tank Review
To review a custom or replacement tank request, it helps to provide as much field information as possible. Even when the original model number is unknown, photos and basic measurements are often enough to begin evaluating the job.
- Photos of the existing tank and surrounding piping
- Overall tank dimensions
- Connection sizes and approximate locations
- Pump model number if applicable
- Nameplate photo if available
- Operating conditions or application notes
- Whether you need tank only or a more complete package

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Rema build a replacement tank for an older system from another manufacturer?
Yes. Rema builds non-OEM replacement tanks for older boiler feed and condensate return systems based on available dimensions, photos, and connection details.
Do I need the original model number?
No. A model number helps, but many replacement tank projects can be reviewed using measurements, photos, connection locations, and application information.
Can you match existing openings and piping locations?
In many cases, yes. Each custom job is reviewed individually to determine which dimensions and openings can be matched or closely approximated.
Can a replacement tank be built in stainless steel instead of steel?
Yes. Stainless steel is often a good option when corrosion resistance and longer service life are priorities.
Do I need to replace the full system or just the tank?
Not always. In some cases, only the tank needs replacement. In others, a more complete system review may be the better long-term solution.
