Quirky primary loops

in THE MAIN WALL
Here are a couple loops I have built over the years.

See if you can figure out the buffered Munchkin wall loop, it has a key component that makes it work.

    Let me guess. Invisible Venturi fitting to induce flow? :smiley:

    I like the circle loop the best.

    It's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.

    Are you sure the munchkin rack on wall isn’t your new chair warmer?

    A disc soldered between the two tees forces flow down thru the buffer tank. Basically a 50 gallon Munchkin, for a multi, micro zoned home.

    I did a bunch of buffer tank systems back 12- 15 years ago when I was installing full time. I liked this sealed combustion Crown boiler, easy to vent and bring combustion air right into the cabinet.

    The Robert Bean ZCPs.

    I found that a nickel ($0.05) fits perfectly in the bottom of a 3/4" copper fitting. Drill whatever size hole you need, and you've got it made. :smile:
