New non-pro boiler Install

Wellness

Replaced old, over-sized Burnham boiler and put a Prestige Solo in a new boiler room in a long, narrow basement bump out underneath the porch in my folk's house. Had to use pvc to sleeve copper return and supply pipe going though block wall back to the main house. These shots are before finishing up labeling and installing pipe insulation. Device behind the boiler is an old central vacuum cleaner. Indirect water heater with electric backup is on the opposite side.

It's hard to tell how it is designed from the pictures. Is it primary/secondary?

Your workmanship looks clean.

I don't like the PVC or lack of support of the T&P piping. It really should be copper or black pipe strapped to the wall.

Thanks for sharing.

Wellness

Yes, primary/secondary. The 1-1/4" pipe above the pvc drain pipe is the primary loop. The space heat closely spaced tee is in the first picture at the bottom; the DHW tee is in pictures 3 and 4 at the top.

Nice installation.
Where did you get the press tool to use for the press fittings?

Wellness

My company has a Propress but I worked with a plumber that does work for my company. He did most of the piping. I did the wiring and other work.

That Propress sure looks nice!

You may want to consider swapping out the Romex on the pumps for Armored/BX... better protection. No problem using 14ga... $18 for a 25ft roll at HD.

Wellness

I usually use BX but because of the close quarters and all the copper pipe to potentially rub up against, I decided to use Romex to keep things neater and avoid any possible corrosion. When we do the insulation, we are going to hide the Romex inside the stout pipe bracket channel and cover it with a plastic bracket channel cover.
