It's coming along nice Bob and looking good.

As a complete naive on this subject, why can't the tubes just be welded (or brazed) in like the rest. I assume there is a good answer for this and would be interested to hear it.

That's a difficult, (well for me anyway), question to answer. My tubes are copper in a steel boiler so the 1st thing that springs to mind is the different expansion ratios. The next thing is tube replacement. These tubes can be replaced without damage to the tubeplate. I hope others can offer more reasons.

Best Regards
Bob

No 1 reason - it is verboten under the AMBSC (and as far as I am aware) commercial codes.
