in THE MAIN WALL
I am trying to install an old HYDRONIC UNIT HEATER in my garage. The heater will be hung the ceiling joists. Should the hot supply be connected to the top or the the bottom fitting?? Will it make any difference if I use 3/4 or 1 inch pex ?? The pex will be connected to 3/4inch copper.



thank you

Howard

    sounds like a Modine heater

    boiler supply in the bottom, return on top. How many BTU's? If it is 1" tappings, I would use 1". How are you going to mount your aquastat? Something needs to turn on the blower on temp increase

    that is way I was taught. Do the opposite of steam. But I never figured out why.
