Re: Looking for help with my AC condenser
It was hard to find the instructions for the turbo cap, but once found it is clear that it is just several caps in one can with one end of all of them connected to a common terminal so you just put them in parallel to get the desired capacity.

I reservemy right to question!
let me do a little research if I’m wrong I’ll admit it

Re: Looking for help with my AC condenser
Actually I have used a turbo as permanent replacement for a Duel CAP many times. To be technical, it is actually a Septuplet CAP ( Duel = 2 Septuplet = 7). So If you need to replace a 40 + 5 Duel then you use the yellow jumpers to connect the 25 + 10 + 5 CAPs to total 40. Then connect the S terminal from the compressor to one of the outer CAP terminals to place the three CAPs that total 40 and the center to the C on the compressor to make them the HERM side of the CAP. The remaining 5 MFD is then used for the FAN by connecting the fan to the COM and the 5 MFD (without jumper)
I'm surprised that @pecmsg has questioned me on this topic. You should know by now that I know my wires? And if I make that rare mistake, I find it and correct it ASAP.
Re: Steam Take-off piping
What's the old quote?
"If you haven't got the time to do it right how are you going to find the time to do it over"
No one can predict if it will work or not but it is not right
If you leave it that way it may work but it may not work.
Then you will have to take it all apart and redo it.
Re: Steam Take-off piping
Don't be "that guy". Re-do it as @mattmia2 suggests.
I'd use both boiler taps but that's me.

Hi, Is it on a closed system, where expanding water has no place to go?

Re: Steam Take-off piping
As long as the boiler isn't surging it could be OK but it sure is going to look weird. In my opinion it depends on how much counterflow you might have in those mains.
Are you planning on putting a plug in that Tee?
Since it's not even done yet, I'd undo it all and re-do it with both mains coming out of the header like it should be.
Re: Are boiler rooms dangerous? this weeks video
No gas allowed in their buildings except pilots... what were the pilots for?
Re: Steam Take-off piping
The two steam risers should be connected to the header separetly not teed together. Both risers should be fed before the equalizer.
