Re: Strange oil burner operation
Is it possible that the nozzle heater is blocking the light from the flame from reaching the eye?
Is it possible that the end cone is partially clogged with a carbon build up that is blocking the light from the flame from reaching the eye?
Is it possible that the fuel is really that cold to cause such a rich flame on startup that it is not as bright enough for the eye to see it?
I have run across burners that do not have a line of sight path form the flame to the eye location and therefore there is a wheel signal (Greater than 2000 Ohms) and by adjusting the position of the eye bracket and painting the interior of a black air tube with silver paint, was able to get the signal to be much better. (Below 1000 Ohms)
Hope this helps, or you found what you needed.
Re: Strange oil burner operation
That is unlikely. Think your still going to have problems. JMHO
Re: Best fasteners to hold HEpex to sub floor
we usually used clips from either uponor or sioux chief. But really only for return bends we pretty much always installed extruded aluminum plates for floor heat.
Re: Faucet Washers
I prefer the Forecast sales beveled washer & bibb screw kits. In the mid 1980s, when I started, there were still tons of old style faucets & shower bodies. It was fun to rebuild stems & I have a full tool box with 6 different seat tools, et cetera. Mad Dog
Re: Faucet Washers
Same here. I also like to us the red washers over the black when available. They seem to last longer and don't leave a black stain on anything including my hands that never seems to wash off.

Re: Go To Pex Brand For In Floor Radiant
As far as PexA o2 barrier , I kinda really like Mr Pex . Sounds corny but the founder of this company was one of the original guys responsible for Engel method . It's a bit less expensive than Uponor but a bit more flexible
