Re: Does it still feel like winter where you are?
Hi, UPS or maybe an interesting and pretty big hydronic system of some sort. Let's see … two big pipes running East-West? 🤠

Re: No Header, Equalizer, Hartford Loop, Insulation or Main Vents? How would it work?
You're not suggesting a manufacturer's diagram, from a book, could possibly be wrong, are you?

Re: 2 pipe vapor style. Slow return issues
also I installed a vaporstat and am trying to get the system psi as low as possible. After installing the vaporstat I found the original on a shelf in the basement full of old parts. The cut out and diff were maxed out and when that didn’t work they switched to a pressurtrol
Re: No Header, No Equalizer, No Problem!
I am also misunderstanding, you are disagreeing with Pauls point that water quality is important in a steam system by arguing that his water quality is so good that it doesn't cause him problems? So it would certainly seem that you agree with the original claim Paul made? You are in agreement that most steam boilers have poor water quality that causes them potential issues?
"It has become clear to me that the much more important aspect is water quality."
I'm unsure what exactly you are in disagreement about

Re: Old Forgotten Ways
My father-in-laws house had a system like that GE one mentioned, only it was one he had created himself (he was an inventor among other things). It could be wired on a patch panel so any switch could be used to control any light or outlet in the house. Right… the switches weren't labelled. The lights weren't labelled. The outlets weren't labelled. And there was a time delay. It was an absolute nightmare to live with. You neveer knew what any given switch would do — or if it had done it… or if it did nothing at all.
