    Just wondering....

    why the mixing valve on the indirect?? I always felt that I could get plenty of hot water at even lower temps.
    with the indirect and that the mixing valve was just one more PIA thing to go wrong... have sold a ton of indirect this way....

    just my curiosity....

    It is some thing that this week I have heard that nyc wants installed on all dhw devices.I do not think it is a bad idea and I will be starting to do it on all installs just to CMOA.Also had a friend few weeks back brought to court over a dhw tank scalding a infant.Have found out that the family suing him will have a expert that will ask him why he did not use a anti scald or automatic mixing device so this could not happen.What a great world we live in.It was not code at the time but who do you think is going to win this case.Think about it.

    It's a sad day...

    when you can get sued for other peoples stupidity!!!!
    Never thought of it that way... of course I have to remember that where you are and where I am, are two totally different world's!!!!!!!!!!
    I honestly don't envy you guy's that need to hire a mafia dude to protect your trucks and a lawyer to CYA!!!!

    I'll gladly stay where even though I smack a deer once in a while, I still get thanks like this after saving this building from burning down!!!!

    Because of

    the threat of Legionaires it is recommended that water be at least 140 and higher. A mixing valve is a good idea but shouldn't there be a heat trap (drop 6" below the outlet of the tank) at the MV?

    Joe, do you do anything to the

    B&G fast-fill to stop the lever from falling into open(bypass). I have had a couple do this to me, I now wire them to pipe if mounted like yours. Now if we could get boiler mates in diffrent colors to match,nice job. John@Reliable

    Joe thats a good lookin jog ..but..

    just one thing to think about,how easy is it going to be to do a good cleaning on that boiler? will you be able to brush that down on the angles required to do a good cleaning?, when my guys put a boiler in i tell them this.. you will be the one to come clean it. how easy do you want to make it on yourself?.. i tell them . a couple of 90's will swing the returns out of your way so the hole cornner is clear raies up the circs. with a 12" nip that will give you so much more room, and provide your custermer with years of good cleanings and a happy service tech, who had it a little better because of you..just a thought ...David

    The picture makes it look worse than it really is to clean the boiler.It is on the tight side but I am the one that will usually do the overhual so I take that in when we do installs and what brand we will use on the job.

    Had to replace the damn thing lastnight.It would not stop over filling.Put new one in without fast fill.
