justification equals labor equals money. That’ll be a curious conversation if he already threw a price at the job.

Re: Another glitch on a steam install
the header is full 2 inch, all the way to the 90 that drops to the equalizer. It’s turned 45 but it is not trapping any water.

Are those risers bushed down at the outlets of the boiler?

Re: Another glitch on a steam install
yes and yes. It seems like if I goof something up, the demons and vipers are biting at my heels. But when somebody else does a goofy job, everything works out just fine.

Re: Another glitch on a steam install
"works" can have a lot of meanings. I wonder how close the output of that boiler is to the actual connected edr

It’s also piped wrong with the main tapped between the risers.

Re: Tomorrow is Install Day!
Had to make another quick climb up to install the correct rain cap as they sent the wrong diameter one.
All the ladders are put away. Job done!
Yesterday I removed our coal boiler and started the clean up of the area. Now I will get the new Weil-McClain into position and see how I want to position it and the indirect hot water tank.
Re: Chilling me softly with
Really interesting @hot_rod, we're running a similar trial in our showroom in London. We've been keeping the flow temp just above dew point. It has had a modest cooling effect but the ∆T is so small between ambient and water temp that the we're talking a degree or two of cooling effect. We'd need to add condensate drains and chill the water further, and introduce fans to move the air around in order to get more siginificant cooling.
Would love to hear how you're getting on a month on. Has it had a significant effect? What were the ambient, flow and return temps? What emitters are you using? Is this a radiant floor?
