Re: Need help with Radiant How to go laying panels over existing floor
typically radiant walks are limited to the lower 3’, so mostly out if harms way for picture hanging etc.

Re: Need help with Radiant How to go laying panels over existing floor
I have to admit the radiant walls make me nervous. I want to put labels on the wall “do not drill or nail - buried radiant piping”. 🤣😀🤪

Re: Adding a radiant manifold to existing single zone loop
Not a condensing boiler.
Look at the vent pipe. A condensing boiler would use a plastic vent pipe because all the flue gas condensation would rot the galvanized vent connector away in a year. According to the manual this is a better way to do the near boiler piping if you want less problems with air in the system.
Assuming that you are connecting to standard Baseboard heating units with 3/4" copper tube. The circulator on the return indicates the installer didn't read the manual and followed the directions his father who taught him to do it that way.
Re: Questions about a steam system
I'm thinking the circ was for DHW, an old indirect off previous boiler, or abandoned when last tank went, or

I second the recommendation to abandon the floor heat and go to radiators.
Re: Cleaning HVAC Ductwork?
The techs who "clean" a boiler without cleaning should be happy with low sulphur oil. My experience is that boilers have much less accumulation of dirt than they used to. I find most boilers with very little dirt after several years and some hardly need a vacuum after 8 yr. My own oil boiler I installed 7-8 yr ago and haven't opened it yet.
