Re: Repair or Replace Aging Heating System with Gas Conversion Gun?
the pipe leaks are just bad workmanship, as long as a lot of fresh water hasn't been added to the boiler they have nothing to do with the life of the boiler. usually boiler leaks start out small so you have time to schedule a replacement before it is so big that it affects operation.
Re: Radiator removal
Is the bushing leaking on the large thread? If so that will probably involve cutting it out.

Re: Modern hot water radiators - what do I need?
The whole purpose of zoning is comfort control, possibly some small energy savings.
So it depends on how you plan on using the rooms. with variable use bedrooms it is nice to have the individual control. Bathroom control is nice for shoulder season, before the main house needs total heat.
At the very least leave options to easily add a zone control down the road.
A delta P type circulator is best for variable zoned systems.

Re: Modern hot water radiators - what do I need?
Do not use a MonoFlo® or diverter tee system with TRVs. And I would caution you with designing a MonoFlo® type system. It may not be as easy as it looks. You will need to understand the flow patterns and pressure drops of each radiator on the zone (loop). You need to then know how to use this selection chart in order to select the pipe sizes and appropriate tee fittings.

I like Ribs because the little red light tells you it's working.

Re: How Do I Connect This Wire?
If they go up that much a transformer and a RIB will work and nut much more work to install.
Wasn't there another relay like a RIB that had a transformer built into it? Someone posted it last year I think. But maybe the trans is to small for a Nest.
