Re: How do you limit the max temperature for radiant?
Radiant heating is limited by floor temperature. At very cold days, if house is not tight, you would need auxiliary heat.

Re: Carrier moves jobs to Mexico
"I don't think things have gotten bad enough yet for "every working stiff in America" that you could actually make such an action happen. The collective "frog" is in water that has slowly been heated for decades. Most of its body parts don't realize how close to 212F things have gotten"No meaningful change is easy and there are no quick fixes. Have we gotten to the point where the pain out weighs complacency? Obviously not and hopefully we will wake up, as a nation, of people, and understand what is important and what we need to do to make things better for ourselves, our children and our neighbors. It is a collective effort, which compounds the problem even further. So many of us expect someone else to fix the problem. I had to ream one of my nephews out the other day when he said: "If my boss doesn't plan to ensure my career advances, then I will know he's not interested in my best interest."
I agree, and unfortunately, corporate America knows this. The population has been fractioned for years. Everyone has been fighting for their own piece of the pie. The pie's gone, and the bakery moved to Mexico. Getting everyone to understand "the greater good" would be very difficult, and that's where things could get ugly. I don't know of any other way to force change. It has to hurt their bottom lines, or there won't be any change.
I was horrified! this is a college educated young man with 10 years of work experience, in his chosen field. I told him he is 100% responsible for his career development , no one else. Waiting for someone else to advance your cause will get you nothing. How does your boss know or even care about your career aspirations? He's got his job and his own carrer to worry about. Figure out where you want to go and then sit down with your boss and ask if he can help you get there!

Re: 2-pipe conundrum in SF
Some pics of neighbors' piping outside kitchen window (opposite side of building). As well as where I see my return connection near the boiler.








Re: Direct vent side wall intake on different wall
I can't think why they need to be on the same wall.
Re: Primary Secondary with Reversed Secondary Flow
Hmmm unless my eyes are crossed I think the piping to the closely spaced ts are reversed. The return from system is headed for the supply on the primary.

Re: Direct vent side wall intake on different wall
Most Category IV units that I've installed, furnaces and boilers, require same pressure zone going all the way back to when Category IV's first came around.
