in THE MAIN WALL
we just installed a new boiler at a customer home the boiler will heat the existing home and a 1200 ft addition (knb150). The pressure relief valve continues to pop. the customer said that he had problems w/ this in the past (burnham series 2) . I've already increased the size of the expansion tank and replaced the water feed, what else could it be?

    feeder

    Where is the feeder connected to the system? It will and does make a difference.

    it's piped in 1/2 copper between the expansion tank and the return and tied it the air seperator.

    popping safety

    Does the bioler have a coil or a storage tank off the coil?? Pinhole in the piping?

    Did you reuse any equipment or is it all new?

    Yep there is a TT smart 40, we replace all the old EQ but the base boards and distribution piping are the old stuff

    Pressure Build Up

    If the pressure builds up on temperture rise.. You don't have enough expantion tank . If pressure rises with circulator running .. It's the location of feed valve. If pressure builds up with a constant drip. Water is bypassing into the heating system .
