New Pigtail Setup

Member Posts: 89
After installing the 3PSI gauge last year, I figured I could make improvements before this year's heating season. I added a vacuum gauge, and a 30z pressure gauge, in addition to my 0-3PSI gauge. I re-piped it so the -30 to 30 stock gauge is visible (although it never moves.) I also piped in a spot for the vaporstat, which is on its way, and a vacuum release valve.

I'd add some supports, or move some of those gauges or controls to where the original gauge now is.

(which you will need), add a union under the cross fitting so that its easy to take the piping apart each year to wash out the pigtail.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll get a pigtail and something to stabilize it.
