in THE MAIN WALL
On my home tonight I stopped by one of my customers home to meet his neighbor.He had a WM gold oil boiler installed with a tankless coil and kept complaining about not enough dhw.By the way a 3 section boiler,no flow resictor and a hand mixer left from the old boiler.I know I may sometimes get on some of you that are plumbers about heating installs, but this one is from one of the biggest in my area.Going to repipe it and add a aqua booster to help out the dhw.Yes I did try to upgrade to a indirect but not always get that sale.Will post the job when done.By the way this job was installed only 6 months ago.

    Yes he did

    The circulator is puping right at the expansion tank.Do you think that these boys need to go back to 101 hydronic school.

    Circ location

    I see this all the time. Weil had the right idea, they put the packaged circs right on top. They should have made the bx longer and put a big orange sticker on it that shows how the rest of the system should be piped.

    Todd.

    I think they did that to save on the tie strap or bolt that they started with that held it to the pallet .

    Pennies count !

    What about the burner problem they were having? I know you will straighten that out also.

    Theyre heart was in the right place

    A LWCO , the relief piped to the floor , a mixer for the coil ( its even broken-in ) , up on blocks - that baby is a work of art . Now if they only had a level and read a book or 2 on piping techniques ....

    sad

    I notice the aquastat cover is under the pie dish with the cookie tin in it.

    Yeah..there are problems!

    I wonder what the 7/8 wrench is used for, propane bottle??

    Flow restrictor

    Doesn't this application require a 3 gpm flow restictor?
    How many homes today can get by with 3 gpm of domestic hotwater? The soot around the fire box indicates very questionable combustion. The oil lines laying exposed for foot traffic are not a real good idea either. No wonder you are questioning this install, it is very sad!
