Re: 60 PPM outside of "snowman" boiler
I respectfully disagree.
yes call them back but have your service provider there as well.
the gas company is not going to yield to a landlord.

Re: using pex tees in hydronic hot water heat system
you don't know that if you haven't done a heat loss calculation. the loss is only on the outside. is the 180,000 btu/hr input or output? Even the best windows are a bit worse than the worst solid wall so windows are more about how much area they are and how good the weatherstripping is. a modern house with a wall of glass of the best windows is going to be far more lossy than an old house with 100 year old windows without storms if they are in decent shape.

Re: Your thoughts and opinions please
What @Ironman said.
Unfortunately, the culture today is to just Google the answer.
Thats the reason I quit teaching at the union hall 6 years ago.
They act like if they can learn it quick its ok,
If it takes time its not worth it.
Re: Identify the radiator
The tube one is interesting and may get some money. The others ? Meh.
Re: comms between LWCO and water feed?
To answer your question- yes, you should see 120V between A and 2 on the CycleGard when it is calling for water. It might take a minute or so for the voltage to appear, however.
But- does the boiler overfill when it is not being operated, such as now when the weather is warm? If so the valve in the VXT may need rebuilding. Shut off the water supply to the VXT to confirm this.
Re: 2 pipe steam radiator electric valve
Look. I do realise that in this modern age if it isn't electric and doesn't have at least one computer chip in it it's old-fashioned. However. The Danfoss valve is simple, silent, and utterly reliable and has been working for getting on for 80 years now. What's not to like?
Re: 2 pipe steam radiator electric valve
before you mess with anything with the steam system you better check with the co-op board first. You might own the co-op but you don’t own the steam heating system

Re: 2 pipe steam radiator electric valve
They make valves for commercial use that operate slowley but the price will choke a horse.
Use the Danfoss valve
Re: 2 pipe steam radiator electric valve
The Danfoss thermostatic valve will do what you want, with a lot less complication.
