System 2000 install

bill_97

You really went the extra mile on this job . Separate purges for each zone , Ferncos to disassemble the fresh air , support to the boiler for the fresh air , and the air eliminator . I like how you did the supply and return in black pipe and left plugs in the ends for future zones . That's the sign of a contractor who cares about what he installs .

Keep up the great work and post more pics !

System 2000 install

Replaced 20yo peerless and added (split) out a zone for the foyer. Thinking about putting a heat pump water heater on the tank so the boiler will stay cold in the summer.


Pic attached, left room on the left of the boiler to walk around to the back.

Nice work Mike!

Beautiful work!

The customers will be happy with the fuel savings. Why does System 2000 use a converted electric water heater for an indirect? Is there a difference? Is there greater stand-by loss versus a standard indirect?
Thanks!

Makes your mouth water

I don't sell it, but I had to save the picture to show customers what a professional installation should look like.

Great Job!!

Nice work! It looks beautiful.

All those purge valves are not necessary as you can use the one inch ball valve and purge tee, but it looks great.


To the other poster, the electric tank is not used as an indirect, but rather a storage tank to the DHW heated by a plate heat exchanger.

Nice Job!

I like the Fernco idea.Going to try that out on Saturday! Just curious,why the Spirovent?

Four of the purge valves were from the old system so they were resued, plus I like the idea of being able to isolate each zone.

DHW storage tanks

Just wanted to re-affirm Norm's statement that the storage tanks are not and never have been converted electric water heaters. The plain truth is that the shipping carton reads "Electric Water Heater" but the 40 gallon tanks don't even have tappings for elements. The tanks are well insulated and are on a par with any storage tank on the
market.

Existing water heaters are sometimes converted for storage when they're in good condition to give a less expensive installation. No problem with that.

This particular installation, which looks great BTW, uses a plate heat exchanger with storage tank. Is that an indirect? Depends on your definition I guess. Aero made what they called an indirect that used a plate heat exchanger tucked into an indent in the jacket with the ports facing out and piped to it from the boiler with a bronze circ on the domestic side.

You will find, if you haven't already, that the boiler will seldom run during the non-heating season as it is demand only with post-purge.

Is

this a DIY install?If so,it's quite a job!

Nice job

Looks great. A 1" black cross also works nicely for a header with the supply in the middle instead of the end. Also the deaerator is wasted money. The boiler will do it for you by design. That is an installation that will purr along for 20 years miraculously with little trouble. I belive the rule that 80% of the likelyhood of a system being trouble free comes from the installation and 20% comes from the equipment selection. As long as burner setup is done correctly (on any system) they will look new and act like new for many years.
