The best way to learn how to design a hydronic system...

David Van Wickler_3

4 section Biazzi, indirect HW, 4 BB zones, one radiant zone, boiler reset;

Principles;

Pumping away
boiler purge before air seperator
individual purge for each pump
internal check valves
isolation flanges
premade welded steel headers.

Rip out old Federal at 8:00am, and heat on and hot water flowing at 10:30pm.

Took three guys to get the boiler out of the basement and two guys to bring the new block down. It's the only time I appreciate having had open spine surgery! I watch the heavy work with a cup of coffee in my hand!

while the \"best way\" is subjective

first reading dan holohans's books avail on this site or ziggi's book (hyronicpros.com) - would be a far..far..far less costly first step

You can't beat the learning from actually putting your hands on the material. A book is a great tool but actual hands on is the best teacher. Nice plug for your web sight.

with the fourth learning to read:)The Biazzzi is a good choice.Did you get a deal;)If memory serves me right(i have been known to be wrong in the past)the boiler landing pad area looks a bit different.Did you move?I hope all is great with you and your family.

Oh yeah I spent day one yesterday searching for the Spring gobbler.All I found was three pounds of ticks.Still time I just gotta find that too.

Nice job on the chop and swap.........Ron Jr.I'm thinking your crown is safe:)

i dont work for dan or ziggi...

an insect has rma memory and will learn form it's own experience

we humans, are way superior (or are at least supposed to be) and can learn from OTHER’S experience

i didn’t have a TV as a child and lived in the library around the corner - and devoured – technical books and encyclopedias, by the time I was 10, I had the whole “Audel’s” series in my memory – and set many a plumber that came to my house straight, my first Hydronic baseboard system 30years ago, worked right, and I only had to re-solder one joint – I had never worked for anybody else or even seen it done – just books

I am not embarrassed to ask, how others on the wall, do simple things, I have been doing for years, like the perfect solder joint, and I go to seminars to learn things I already know, never lost money doing that

That is a cool way to be raised.TV is certainly a media that owns societies minds.So much that we watch influences the beat that people walk to.I have a good freind (who is an amazing carpenter) who has (with his wife) raised two outstanding children less the television.A feet that can boggle the average mind eh?He had a bumper sticker years ago the read Kill Your TV!I applaud him and parents like yours.

Happy Installers

The real reason the install came out so darn great is that the installers look happy. Though we do a lot of hard work sometimes, it is well worth the effort. The people who do the best in this field are the ones who enjoy it. Keep up the great work, remember 40 years from now when someone looks at that boiler install, they will still be blown away about how great that craftmanship was.

Wheels and DVW...scary...very scary.
