Adding tankless coil to Peerless Boiler
I am wondering how to remove the plate on my Peerless WBV -04 hot water boiler without the tankless coil in it. I am limited on space and need to remove my indirect tank due to leak.Oil burner only. While viewing the existing plate without removing the boiler cover I don't see bolts or screws. Can it removed so I can install a tankless coil and would a 5gpm be sufficient for a home with 3 people, 2 showers, one bathtub, washing machine and dishwasher. Location NJ.

Or use black pipe nipples on each side of the pump. Use split ring pipe hangers with 3/8 threaded rod with nuts and F & M plates (ceiling flanges) to mount the pump to something substantial

Uneven temperatures are caused by a Duct Issue. Address that.

Re: Best nest thermostat-Experts recommendations to choose
Just be aware that no thermostat — even the best smart thermostat — will do anything for the uneven temperatures.
Re: Combi Boiler water heater side... need a T&P
The only time you need a T & P is if you have hot water storage.
- A tankless heater in an oil or gas boiler doesn't need a T & P
- Indirect and gas or oil tank type heaters have them as do HP water heaters
- Tankless gas fired WH I don't know but doubt it.
I don't know what the minimum storage requirements that are would require a T & P
Any water heating device needs a T & P or a straight pressure relief.
A combi is basically just a HX and I don't think it needs a T & P.
Re: Installing circulator to boiler
Use hard pipes or copper from the boiler to the pump location. That should be enough to hold the pump in place. Don't ever put a pump, or any other hydronic accessory like air scoops or flow check valves between 2 pieces of PEX tubing. It is not designed to support the weight of anything. You will surely see sagging and eventually develop a leak or even separation of the PEX from the fitting it is attached to, over time. Besides it looks so amateur and screams "I have no idea what the H*** I'm doing"

If you work on cars for any length of time… you either have or will lose a half inch or 10 mm socket somewhere in there…
Re: Extracting Vent Plug from new Sunrad Radiator
figure out what size it is, sunrad should be able to tell you, and get an allen socket that size and turn it with a ratchet. be sure to push in very hard so the bit doesn't cam out.
alternately use a hand impact driver with the bit, the kind you hit with a hammer. hitting the socket with a hammer a couple times could loosen it up too.

It would be easier to use the correct size Allen-key . It is a new radiator, that plug will come out . Drilling and tapping if not …
