might also talk to who you bought it from, if it is a real supply house they should be able to get to their wr rep about it.

Do I really need to say it?
It should be next to the WD40 in the toolbox

or just do something to make the plastic rivet tighter.

Re: Grunfos Domestic Hot Water Recirculation System
We get nearly instant hot water with our pumpless gravity system
About 10' vertical and 65' horizontal of a mix of 3/8 and 1/2 ID copper. (Clean out the shop.) We were able to get slope for most of the horizontal run with a drastic drop at the WH. The drop at the WH is purposely not insulated as a cooling leg to promote gravity flow.
Another advantage is we get circulation thru the 120 gallon WH tank, (Rheem Sundirector, clearance at a wholesaler, 1994) keeping all the water closer to the same temp.

that’s the ideal temp for face washing per my better half!

Re: Replacing Sections in American Peerless Radiator
Unfortunately, this rarely works. We've tried it and they just don't go back together the same way they came apart, so they leak.
Re: "Yelp"/ angi list for contractors.
For some reason this post took some time to get approved by admin and I am unable to edit it.
I wanted to add a paragraph about how each subsequent owner and tradesmen, would be able to have that "Trade Score" adjusted up or down based on how they interact with subsequent owners and tradesmen. They pay bills on time or not, the equipment/system is properly designed and works, or not. The equipment/system is well maintained or not.
Some systems are just poorly designed and will never work to the homeowner's satisfaction. You certainly would like to know what I'm getting into before I try to make a fix that has already been tried 4 times previously. "No matter how many times I cut this 2x4 it is still too short"
Re: "Yelp"/ angi list for contractors.
I’d say $5500 is a victory (landlording for 15 years. 10 units).
It's a victory beyond your wildest imagination of what typically goes on out there. I also had 10 units at one time. The victories were limited to about three! Every single one of them never understood what a vacuum cleaner is and how to use it.
I could tell you stories for days.

Excellent Gary!! You realize only 5 or 6 techs on here know that.
Up until 1999 the National Fuel Gas Code recommended a cigarette for this test, but l believe it was Lucky Strikes.
Re: Literature on Geothermal
We are good here Paul. It is a world of difference compared to NJ or even east of the Cascades in Washington. It gets wicked cold there.
Take a look at the design standards and Manual J information. It is just mild. I have never observed over 100 or below 23 myself.
We could get by with good shades and fans and no AC but we are wimps.
I did my own Manual J with Lennox Design pros Cool Calc.
I came up with 25018 BTUH heating and 21002 cooling, and a little less than 1000 CFM
Then I paid an engineer to go through it with me, do his own Manual J and design a system for me.
He came up with 31091 heating and 27443 cooling and ~1100 CFM, a little more conservative.
I had already set my sights on a Bosch 3 ton unit with an air handler for cooling.
I went with a 4 ton inverter that should be loafing, and gave it almost 6 ton equivalent of loops.
That said, I am going to call them and opt for a 6 ton AHU that includes 2x5KW strip heaters and about double the coil capacity. I think it will be a better match for my planned 105 SWT on design heat day and I can kick in the strips to take the edge off quickly if ever needed.
