Wall Hung Knight Job

Pre-fabbed at the shop

We have a job about 1½ hours from us so we are prepping this panel at the shop.

4-zones of infloor being fed by a new WBN105 wall hung knight. This is our 1st wall hung condensing boiler and certainly not the last.

The HO/General contractor runs a SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) business so this will be a pretty tight envelope. I especially like the Western Red Cedar Timber Framing he chose to incorporate. The house will be ready for us in about 3 weeks, after the windows and doors and roof make it weather tight. (The picture of the timber framing was taken about a month ago.)

I'm sure you are looking at this and wondering why I use the Caleffi Hydroseparator rather than a pair of closely spaced tee's. Answer: because I can.

The HO opted for the optional Tekmar TN4 package so I am really gunning for concealed or semi-concealed wiring. I do not want any thermostat, sensor, and a minimum amount of circulator wiring exposed. That is why you see the zone circs wiring disappearing into the diamond-plate. It is getting to be a pet-peave of mine when I see spaghetti wiring detracting from the aesthetics of our jobs.

The HO/GC said he is researching a "Turn-Key" Solar DHW system and would not need us to provide it. We still stubbed out some ballvalves, boiler drains, and will pre-wire for it in the event that he realizes he may not have enough DHW when he needs it. (My opinion)

Although Matt has the gas regulator rotated 90°, he did install a nipple and a 90° so the vent limiter is on the correct horizontal plane.

Where did you find the wall hung

Knights? I've been waiting for a 50K neither my supplier or rep has any yet.

The last time I was at the factory, I nabbed this off of the prototype wall and put it in my jacket. I just assumed they thought I actually was that "Barrel-Chested".

Actually, my understanding is that this was one of the 1st units released out of the testing lab.

Be honest now..

Did the B & G supply house run out of pumps? Or did the Taco supply house run out of pump shut off flanges?

Just pinching your shoes.. Very nice work!!

Paul the

diamond plate is too shiny. The mirror image of the piping makes it difficult to figure out the flow. Beautiful work, the pride shows. bob

The work is beautiful and immaculate, I love it! Just a pleasure to look at.
What kind of insulated split ring hangers are those? Also what kind of hanger is that for the extrol tank? I am with you about the wiring detracting from the piping work. It can be a real battle to hide it or make it look decent at times.

Has anyone thought about an HRV for that SIPS house? They tend to run tight (low ACH).

Thanks for the kind words. Paul Pollets told me about "Mupro" clammps some time back and I have been using them ever since. Leo Pirito with the Argco company has them available. Leo@argco.com and ask him about the "Green-line Sonic Clamps" for CTS, and "Spiral-Duct Clamps" for expansion tanks. Leo is really good about getting a sample-pak out for people to try. They really do have good stuff, and if you don't already own the 3/8" all-thread rod cutter, do yourself a favor and get one. Major time savings when cutting all-thread.

Glad your back from the "Big Sand Box", Thanks for serving.

I gave you the Argco product catalog. These are the same folks I bought the rod cutter from.

Good stuff.

Look great Paul!

Wow

Nice prep work! Too bad it will be down in the basement or some out of the way place. Perhaps the h/o could be convinced to put the system in the front entry way! VERY NICE!!!

WOW!

Beautiful work Paul. Lots of pride and it shows. One question: Why some press fittings and some solder? Just wondering. Also curious, what is the cost for diamond plate like you're using? Is it called polished diamond plate? What thickness? I've gotta see if I can find that locally!
Great job!

Thanks, Rich L

This is one of the only reasons that I am jealous of all you guys doing new construction. In the service industry, it can rarely be that pretty.

Beautiful work.
