Re: Why does my gas line do this?
Wow...That's the way it should be. I think alot of that is attributable to your Statewide License. When was that put in to place? Was the State PHCC behind it? We can't even get a County-wide License...forget about the whole state! Mad Dog 🐕The Statewide license was instituted in the 70's.
We had a really great individual in consumer affairs (who recently retired) that did a commendable job to enforce the codes as they were written, which really benefited the contractor, as well as the property owner.
And we have a particular continuing education instructor who does an outstanding job of educating the contractor, and the inspectors, as to the how to enforce the codes as they were written, and meant to be enforced.
These 2 men mostly eradicated the nonsense of the "new sheriff in town" and the "its my town" mentality

Sorry for the derail.
You could always check the pressure with a manometer, with all of the appliances firing on high.

I'm near you, H2O, and used Pillar Heating out of Barrington for my EK oil boiler install and service, and he's been great.

Re: An afternoon with a legend!
@Mad Dog_2 , you'd love the PPA-TEC training center. They even have a steam boiler (though not a MegaSteam- yet).
Re: Why does my gas line do this?
No bushings either...Mad Dog_2 said:Yes.. especially with gas..math matters...(Carbon monoxide issues). They want a Nipple & cap vis-a-vis a plug, close nipple or street 90, because they feel it has more meat 🍖 on it...less chance of a thin spot that can split and leak. A solid plug works. Dope it up and screw it in.
Who knows why you have unexplained and circuitous gas lines??? There's always the chance the Apprentice did it..or a DIYer.. As long as she's not leaking, deal with it all later. Mad Dog 🐕

Re: Why does my gas line do this?
Why don’t you just do it correctly . Cut in a new tees by your meter for your stove and barbecue and then remove all that extra pipe and have then the 1 inch line feeding your new combi or your old steamer and hwh . With that being said as long as the existing gas line has enough capacity for your future combi . Of course a pressure test should be performed upon completion of piping and prior to final connection to the equipment any less is foolish . The main reason I say do it correctly is otherwise you will be looking and living with it forever or until you correct it ,like the Nike motto just do it

Re: Taco zvc404 no Zone lights at all
Do you have voltage between 1-2 either on a call or no call at the zone valve terminals on the Taco control? Try removing the t-stat wires to the R-W and jump RW to see if it creates a call. If all else fails please give us a call tomorrow 401-942-8000 and just ask for Tech Support. We are here 8am-5pm EST. Please be in front of the control when you call.
