Re: OWB Vertical lift with extremely low gpm's issue
The cooler water returning to your forest eater is fighting against the water weight in the boiler.
Make sure you remove the check valve in the existing circulator when you install the second circulator as well.

I duct taped a harbor freight security camera to a sewer rod when i needed to look at my own sewer but that isn't locatable.

Re: Boiler Backup
@ Jamie Hall. Yeah, I'm afraid this is looking more like a backup generator solution instead of battery backup. That's a lot of power for a boiler ignition module and a control board! Thanks to all for the input.It's the blowers on that boiler that are killing you.
Re: Steam Pipe vs. PVC Pipe
Let it melt if he is so smart he will be back there fixing the pipe and the ceiling
Steam Pipe vs. PVC Pipe
On this job, a 1-1/2" PVC drain crosses directly over a 1-1/4" steam steel radiator runout at right angles. They nearly touch other. The intersection will be in an inaccessible ceiling.
We're imploring the plumber to use copper or galvanized for the drain. He thinks a sheet of rubber or half-inch Fibreglas insulation will suffice. We know it will not.
Any thoughts or suggestions here?
A good New Year to all our Wall old friends.

Re: Steam Pipe vs. PVC Pipe
It's in a nasty low crawl space.SteamingatMohawk said:@Chris Get out your handy dandy infrared laser thermometer and measure the temperature at the connection of the two pipes and let us know. Send us a pic, too.
Id gladly normally help out but for this I'm sorry. I don't go in there unless I have no choice.
That crawl space is Ravenholm.
