Re: Hybrid settings for Honeywell T6 Pro Smart for heat pump & Peerless.
If your T6 pro thermostat is a model TH6320WF2003 then you have what you need to set this up properly. You need to add the outdoor sensor and a RIB 2401D relay this will become your heat relay. It will be operated by the Thermostat AUX terminal. https://www.supplyhouse.com/Functional-Devices-RIB2401D-Enclosed-Pilot-Relay-10-Amp-DPDT-w-24-VAC-DC-120-VAC-Coil?_br_psugg_q=rib+relay
This is your wiring diagram.
With this Diagram you can set the compressor to lock out at any given temperature in the Installer Set Up (ISU) menu. Some key settings to look for:
- 130 = Wired
- 200 = Heat Pump
- 205 - Air to Air
- 221 = Heat stage =1 Aux/E = 1
- 255 = Fossil
- 256 = Fossil
- 260 = Thermostat
- 300 = Off
- 340 = 2. This is a starting point and may need to be changed based on comfort. Lower numbers may cause both the Heat Pump and the Peerless boiler to operate at the same time. If this is unacceptable another relay can be added.
- 355 = 34° this can be changed based on comfort
- 375 = 3
- 378 = 3
All the other ISU should be left at the existing settings
CAP unused wires on the RIB2401 relay individually.
The Original Vari-Vent
Back when Heat-Timer's Vari-Vents were REALLY adjustable.
Just "Dial in" the temperature. Attempt at a cross between a steam vent and a TRV.
Re: Help me swap my Gorton #1 main vent (with free used Hoffman 75) ?
I had already linked you the adapter. This would go directly onto the pipe, you won't need the coupler anymore
Re: Pnuematic Controls
Check out National Energy Controls Corp. They are in PA. They offer pneumatic controls courses. and probably have books and other information available
Re: Pnuematic Controls
Keep an eye on Ebay, you can get some good deals on some Very Nice pneumatic test instruments.
Don't buy the first thing that you really want. You'll undoubtedly find a better tool for less right after you click Pay Now.

Re: Pnuematic Controls
Actually if you can find some older Honeywell/ Johnson Controls / Siemens / Landis and Gyr or really old school MCC Powers catalogs they had some basic stuff in the "engineering" sections of those. I think most of those can be found in PDF form on the interwebs.
Aside from that some basic things to understand would be spring ranges of dampers and valves. A lot of systems that I used to deal with relied on the using spring ranges of a heating or cooling valve manipulate the overall control. Heating NO open valve 3-8 PSI Cooling NC valve 8-13 PSI. The concepts of direct acting vs reverse acting.
The use of EPs and pressure regulators to drop the house or main air of a system to facilitate night setback. Reciever controllers and pilot positioners are good to review.
Some basic tools are small allen key thermostat wrench, squeeze bulb with gauge for testing and calibrating. Good analog pocket thermometer, good side cutters, hemostats for pinching lines off. Grainger should have a few kits or Kele is a good place. I'll look to see if I have any old documents floating around
Re: Pnuematic Controls
I've noticed now it by default has some sort of filtering turned on that seems to filter out the items that people don't quite know what they have so they haven't described them correctly so they don't have insane prices.

Re: Diagram on Home Depot radiator vents package
Probably a riser vent. There are no main vents shown on that diagram, so the riser vent will at least give the upper floor radiator some chance of getting steam… eventually.
Re: Diagram on Home Depot radiator vents package
P.P.S. - Never buy Home Depot vents.
