Small Diverter-tee Installation (Steamhead)

Steamhead

Given the size of the mains they were on, they couldn't. We decided to make the basement a separate zone, using down-feeding diverter tees.

Most of the heat loss was at the end of the basement opposite the boiler. Using diverter tees allowed us to send the heat to these radiators first. The owner already had sheetrock up so we ran the pipes exposed- which is kind of chic these days anyway.

You can see the old capped-off drop pipes under the bulkhead.

Can't call this one Monoflo

because we didn't use B&G's tees.

This radiator had been installed on an inside wall, so we moved it.

In the boiler room

we changed to Pumping Away. The Weil-McLain sealed-combustion boiler has a built-in air separator so we just used that. Each zone has a Taco 007.

Now that he has heat in the basement, the owner can finish it off.

Happy Holidays everyone.
