Radiant from the hardware store

Carl PE

about 10:00 last night to get some pvc fittings. Had to do some emergency plumbing in my basement.

I'm going to be nice and not reveal the name of the store.

Anyway, I was roaming around their plumbing department, checking out the Sioux Chief manifolds, when I saw this flier (see attachment).

Comments?

well done. I know we tell all our clients with "Poor" insulation that they need 150 BTUs/sq ft of heat source to heat their house. You guys all do that too, right?

Surface Temp

If the room set point was 68 they would only need a floor surface temp of 143 or so to deliver 150 btu/sqft. Ofcourse the other side of it is that they can not move that kind of energy so the heat source will short cycle like crazy.

Hey now, come on. Our job is to make sure the clients are covered and this way if they forget to put a roof on the house, we can melt the snow in their living room if necessary!!!!!

How about..

1> Using a water heater as a boiler (it's not the same thing, you know )

2> The open system in Figure 1 (which might possibly kill you)

3> The control panel with one pump, and one 3-way valve.
