Re: 1961 Wards boiler
Imagine if a doctor acted like that.Wow thanks for the quick response. "heat-loss calculation on the house". Not planned on doing that.So, you really dont care if its properly sized?
Ehh, just give him about 4 or 6 of those pills, every 2 to 8 hours........
Hes 72 years old anyway, he'll be checking out within the next day to 20 years.....
Re: 1.414 Math, 45 degree offsets, a quick tutorial
You can fake it with small pipe or PVC. Try holding 4" Victualic fittings or larger and trying to measure it uo yourself.
The indoor chiller I piped by myself on site with no help it was a replacement. 8" chilled water with the 45 deg rolling offset. The condenser water was 4" or5" can't remember. Yeah it took me a while.
The outdoor chiller I went to the job and measured everything once the chiller was set and had all the pipe cut and grooved at the shop. I was not going to lug all the equipment needed to groove that stuff and then have to set it up and lug it back. Probably took me a day to measure it and draw it so the shop could fab it. Then I pulled the pieces up through the roof hatch myself.
Guess that is why I am all busted up and can't work anymore.

Each person told their history and location.
Somewhat like this discussion, most stood and delivered......except ChrisJ

Geez. The more I learn, the more I dislike the previous owner.
Re: Rust on Brand New Burnham Boiler
Terrifying as the homeowner. Should I get it on “file” with Burnham somehow or they just going to toss the photos if I send them their way?
Re: Occupation
I'm retired as a developer of computer graphics systems although I still take on jobs here and there and am still a member of one standards committee.

Re: Occupation
Was that with punch cards or patch cables?Jamie Hall said:Before someone wonders... I do also have a couple of university degrees... and served my country many years ago... but i got my PE license the old fashioned hard way, starting as a labourer... Not much heavy equipment, except cranes, I haven't operated at one time or another. Building inspector... some surveying... some computer programing... but that's all behind me now.
