Re: Replumbing: Solder or Threads for Ball Valves
Nah. I'd call that pretty reasonable- at least with our water.
Re: Utica now offering 12 year warranties, longest in industry
If that were the case wouldn't lengthening the warranty coverage period just cost Utica more money?

They are ok for hot water although still more awkward to pipe.

Re: Experience I had with a boiler tech and what I learned along the way.
Read, read and read some more. The older publications are the best. Many technicians haven't read since high school and with the poor training in many careers, have only learned the bad habits of their "mentors".
Re: 1972 HB Smith OHB13W-7T 7 Section Combustion Chamber Replacement
That looks like the same boiler as the Dunkirk 1352. The Quickie 2 will work fine.

Not a fan of side outlet boilers. Ever
Re: Utica now offering 12 year warranties, longest in industry
Does anyone really believe that any of the manufacturers will ever honor any of their warranties?? I have yet to see a residential boiler replaced under warranty. Warranty is certainly not going to cover installation costs. Will they give you a new block? Will they give you new controls? Will they require you to ship the damage section to them for inspection and then best case scenario they will send you a new section??
Re: Stadler radiant heat loop always circulating
Follow the flex electrical conduit to see what powers the pump. It could be as simple as a stuck relay.
Why was the burner nozzle changed? Was the boiler not keeping up with the heating load?

Re: Stadler radiant heat loop always circulating
my guess is the cap tube you can't find the end of goes outside somewhere for outdoor reset so the loop temp is set by the outdoor temp. the constant circulation isn't super unusual for a radiant system.
is the main loop also radiant?
i don't see why the boiler would rise to 170 from a low limit call if the low limit is at 125 unless it has the differential set very high or a heat call is bringing it there
