Re: Is the circulator pump too powerful?
With a cost recovery time of…. (a lot of years). Wait until they die, then upgrade. Oil the 100's annually, and you'll be in for a long wait.
Re: 100 year old radiator??
Wow!
What a beast! Is that a 4' level on it?
Looks like it would heat a whole house
Re: What was the best MacGuyver moment you actually saw on a job site?
Why should the boss be furious? Your fellow employee stayed there he was the safety. I don't see anything wrong with it.
Who would want to shut down an entire hotel?
Re: 100 year old radiator??
Older than 100 years I reckon....I'm gonna say 120-125 yrs old atleast Mad Dog
Re: Granby "Rhino-Tuff" tank (similar to Roth) but with cast aluminum connections
Since it is for fuel oil it must be approved for that purpose. I would install it in accordance with the MFG instructions.
Re: Looking for help with my AC condenser
It was hard to find the instructions for the turbo cap, but once found it is clear that it is just several caps in one can with one end of all of them connected to a common terminal so you just put them in parallel to get the desired capacity.

I reservemy right to question!

Re: Looking for help with my AC condenser
Actually I have used a turbo as permanent replacement for a Duel CAP many times. To be technical, it is actually a Septuplet CAP ( Duel = 2 Septuplet = 7). So If you need to replace a 40 + 5 Duel then you use the yellow jumpers to connect the 25 + 10 + 5 CAPs to total 40. Then connect the S terminal from the compressor to one of the outer CAP terminals to place the three CAPs that total 40 and the center to the C on the compressor to make them the HERM side of the CAP. The remaining 5 MFD is then used for the FAN by connecting the fan to the COM and the 5 MFD (without jumper)
I'm surprised that @pecmsg has questioned me on this topic. You should know by now that I know my wires? And if I make that rare mistake, I find it and correct it ASAP.
Re: Steam Take-off piping
What's the old quote?
"If you haven't got the time to do it right how are you going to find the time to do it over"
No one can predict if it will work or not but it is not right
If you leave it that way it may work but it may not work.
Then you will have to take it all apart and redo it.
Re: Steam Take-off piping
Don't be "that guy". Re-do it as @mattmia2 suggests.
I'd use both boiler taps but that's me.
