Re: Minnesota Right to Repair Law
We have several Deere Gators at work. My team of mechanics are so skilled, some of them wont think twice about buying a brand new truck, lift it, change gear ratios or hacking into the computer to boost performance. But when we went to Deere for a replacement parking brake, they said we have to haul the gator to them to be evaluated by one of their techs and repaired....
I bought a pair of chocks for it.

Re: Why must The 12 psi fill pressure be increased for 3 floor house?
And all of this is totally due to corporate America's peddling of pumps, pressure relief valves, pressure regulating valves, zone valves, etc.,etc. Give me an open system, convection flow, hand fed with the 'expansion/fill tank' in a closet on the top floor just slightly higher than the top floor radiators . Not to mention the altitude reading on the tri-dicator . What's that for again ?🤔🤔🤔?

Re: Banging Zone Valves
The rule of thumb is more than 4 spring return zone valves on a fixed speed circulator, you should have a pressure activated bypass.
Here is a graphic that shows how a circulator runs up its curve as valves close off.
The bypass valve just "slips the clutch".
Better yet a properly sized, and setup delta P circulator.

Re: Expansion tank location and air separator w/ Make up location
Trying to post a diagram. Not sure why won’t let me. In your diagram Ed the air eliminator and exp tank w make up are located at drain valve and purge point before highest temp red info before the tee. The system supply circulator is right next to that tee. Thanks for the help. Will keep trying to post picIf you have it in a jpg or png format (i'm sure other formats work as well) you should just be able to drag and drop it into the comment box. Not sure how it works on mobile

Re: Found insulation stuffed inside boiler exhaust vent
This reminds me of the story about the mason who would install a pane of glass in a chimney passage. Then Brake the glass only after getting paid.

Re: Found insulation stuffed inside boiler exhaust vent
Thought I'd give an update on the off-chance it matters -
MassSave came by for an inspection, sweared up and down they never touch the exhaust for a blower door test, and thought maybe it was malicious. If it was then they did a real crappy job, and based on our few conversations, the only person my boiler tech doesn't like is George Soros.
Only other thing I noticed is that before, in freezing temps I'd see a little steam outside from the direct vent during a run. When they took out the batt in May, they adjusted the boiler again and now no steam. I assume that's a good thing for a non-condensing boiler?

Re: Questions on Roth tanks installation
...a good oil driver will notice if they arent drawing equally and will have their offive notify you so they can get in and address the issue)Exactly how would a 'good oil driver' or any delivery person know if they aren't drawing equally? Walk back to the truck after each tank is filled and note the gallons? That would only show a gross discrepancy.
