First Picture of Amateur system

Here is the first shot of the work I've been doing on the hydronic heating system. The wiring and electrics are not yet installed, and the tubing from the manifolds to the upstairs baseboard radiation are not hooked up yet. This system uses 3 boiler sources - electric on dual-fuel rates, propane, and future outside wood boiler for which the secondary side of the heat exchanger is already installed - the outside boiler can be added later without interference to the house system. It is set-up using primary/secondary pumping, with check valves isolating each boiler on the boiler/primary loop. Some stubs were added for future expansion, and lots of unions and drains were used to make replacing valves easy in the future. I'll post another shot when finished. Comments welcome. A lot of help came from the guys here on The Wall. Dave
