Re: Cold 2nd & 3rd Floor Radiators
yeah I'm in Queens, with how cold it is it's definitely smart to wait a little for a major re-pipe, can definitely change those air valves though since it's a quick fix. Stay Warm!
Re: Hot Water radiant heat system not outputting enough heat diagnosis help
Well the pump is installed wrong so it's a good chance it failed earlier than you'd like. They don't want the pump shafts to be vertical on those things. It's also some pretty darn small piping, how many BTU is the boiler rated for?

Re: Hot Water radiant heat system not outputting enough heat diagnosis help
I think there should be a bit more separation between the circulator and the air separator. Also between air sep. and boiler.

Re: Hot Water radiant heat system not outputting enough heat diagnosis help
What's your water pressure in the system? And when is the last time you checked the air pressure in the expansion tank and added air to it? They will slowly lose air pressure, and the air pressure is what governs you water pressure.
Also, what's the height of your highest radiator, as your water pressure needs to be high enough for the height of the static water column at least that high?

Re: Hot Water radiant heat system not outputting enough heat diagnosis help
As was stated, the pump is installed wrong so it may have crapped out on you or may simply have air in the volute. 9 times out of 10, this is an air issue and bleeding the rads isn't always the solution- this may require an actual purge.

Re: Hot Water radiant heat system not outputting enough heat diagnosis help
you need to add a purge valve like this on the return manifold
Turn pump so motor is horizontal

Re: Where to install the magnetic dirt separator?
Caleffi also makes a version that can be mounted on vertical pipe.

Re: Used Diesel While We Wait for Delivery = Black Smoke
A cozy place like that, I would use ductless heat pumps and only use the floor furnace when needed. After it's professionally serviced of course.
Electric water heater?

Re: Help over filled boiler
hi ethical Paul I was just looking at your videos!! Cool glass things on yours!!!
I would your take on my system as I am near you nj. One pipe system. Some hissing and clanging but no hammer. I want to move my some of bigger pipes in my basement but not sure if I can with the pitch and all. Also the whole system is is oddly placed, boiler in front, electrical back left, gas back right, so just a criss cross of piping and plumbing ect.
