Re: Pigtail
Will the extra 3-4 inches that the pressuretrol will be sitting higher from it's original position affect its function at all (since it is further away from where it was meant to be originally)?Aside from not needing to bend over as far to read or adjust it, it will have no other effect. As long as the wires will reach, you're in good shape.
Don't forget to add some water to the new pigtail before you mount the pressuretrol. Are you replacing it with a brass one?
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.
Re: Occupation
Years ago while searching on the wall, I found a posting of many years back that had an introduction of each member.I'm sorry.
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: One month comparison: steam radiators to underfloor radiant
I’d buy everyone a round if I could. Thanks again.
We are all visiting this winter for that drink, @Erin Holohan Haskell can use your IP address to find your location.

It's amazing how dangerous things are once they're regulated.
