A Photo of my Vito-Work

Unknown

I just couldn't help but spray up the parts all fancy. It's begining to be my trademark. Painted boards;-)

Just another example of my work. Be kind.

Neat!

It's great how the colors of your system diagram reflect the drawings we could find in a book. The only thing I don't see (and I may be blind) is a set of arrows indicating intended flow patterns.

I hope you keep some of that paint around in case you need to make changes in the future. Otherwise, touched-up changes in the future won't match, and that would be a tragedy, no?

Once again, great install.

Mr. Von Wentzel

Thanks,

The colors reflect the drawings I supply with the system. I allways use a labelmaker with the BIG FAT arrows to indicate all of the flow patterns. (for those who don't know any better)

I don't plan on having to touch it up. Becides the supply (orange) and return (blue) wouldn't change with any additions anyway. This is the first time I chose to use Viessmann™ Orange instead of my typical red. Too bad Viessmann dosen't have any orange highlights on the Vitodens to pull it all in.

I call it multimedia sculpture.

very nice

piping / design / layout. try not using the header. viessmann has drawings that show primary / secondary piping. we have changed to p/s piping, makes the vitodens easier to install, spend less $ on materials. system responds the same. we are only bidding Viessmann initially. Viessmann is a great product, designed, and manufactured better than any other boiler. i think. once again nice job. marc

That's what I would look for...

... a system diagram is absolutely essential to keep folks 'in the loop' that may come after us. We marvel at the work of the Dead Men, yet how neat would it be to see the system as designed, as built, and a blurb on why? they did what they did. I suppose it may take some thrill from the hunt (such as finding that errant vent in the attic) but it would make for some interesting reading nonetheless.

Sadly, even when such documentation is left behind someone usually disposes of it. The trick is to hide it where no professional cleaning service will look, yet where someone seeking knowledge will find it.

I try to include diagrams with all systems installations I do (Telecom, CAT5, and Coax TV). Typically, I indicate locations via a floorplan of the house, as room designations can change as a function of time... a floorplan should be pretty self-explanatory. However, there is yet another reason to leave a trace behind - customization.

For example, to get ethernet and telco lines into my in-laws office, I had to split the 8-wire pairing in a CAT5 wire along the lines of network and telco. If this is not documented, bad things can result... Similarly, I also use jacket and receptacle color to designate function - Coax (black), Telco (Grey) and Ethernet/CAT5 (blue).

Can you tell I love an orderly system? However, you're taking it to another level by painting the components to match their function. Congrats again.

As for the Vitodens' lack-of-color issue, perhaps you can convince Viessmann to release a special, color-coordinated version just for you? Perhaps a light silvery cover with the big V in in the Viessmann shade of orange? Might be stylish...

Nice work Gary...

and Marc, The Vitodens, in essence, is piped primary/secondary. The Low Loss Header is used when circuit flow design exceed 8gpm. How does one "not use the LLH" if flow rates are beyond 8gpm? What Viessmann drawings are you referring to? Curious minds want to know.

Alan(CaliforniaRadiant)Forbes

Yeah

right on.......I like the colors too, but next time, could you use red and blue in pastel colors? :>)

I especially like the wiring from the Taco SR pump controller to the circulators; very nice.

What's that

Gary, what type of heat emitters is that nice looking piping hooked up to and what is your max temp set at on the Vito?

HeatingBeginner

Spirovent in right spot?

Just curious as to why the air seperator is on the system side of the system?
