Re: header and main piping configuration
Best explanation is "Hay Boss! Do you want it right the first time, or would you like to go back several times over the next year or two, to solve banging, and uneven heat issues for free, while still paying us our wages?"
Re: Another glitch on a steam install
yes and yes. It seems like if I goof something up, the demons and vipers are biting at my heels. But when somebody else does a goofy job, everything works out just fine.

is almost identical to the one I have and am very happy with.
Re: Another glitch on a steam install
"works" can have a lot of meanings. I wonder how close the output of that boiler is to the actual connected edr

Re: Laars MFTCW 199 Harmonic Noise
Combustion is most likely out of tune and needs to be adjusted using a combustion analyzer. It could also be several other things like CSST piping, low gas pressure, undersized regulator, plugged intake, etc but this is a pretty common symptom of a boiler that was not properly commissioned. Being a Mascot that's cheap online, would it be safe to assume that this was not professionally installed and commissioned?

Re: short cycling on combi boiler.
Did this always happen or is it new? The flow sensor can get fouled and cause this sort of problem.

It’s also piped wrong with the main tapped between the risers.

Re: Utica Combi Boiler (MAC-150)-Error 133- Causing big bang noise after few trial of combustion
I would definitely check the vent pipe and air intake. Tuning it with a digital combustion analyzer is crucial. These things are not good to go out of the box. Professional installation and maintenance are needed for reliable operation.

You ask for advice but choose to ignore it.
