New project

This one shows the expansion tank.

The origional tank was ceiling mounted and was water-logged when we drained it. Even empty, it was a heavy one. Notice that we put a valve on the tank so if it ever needs replacement, the system won't have to have much (if any) air introduced. I like those bigger tanks low to the ground.

Tell me about it.

This one is on-going. I figure from this point, I have one more day to get the system running and another to do the final touch up.

I have the primary circulator running (no fire on the boiler) and the system is holding pressure. There is the origonal monoflow system (zone 1), the RFH for the bathroom, the 2 additions, and the basement system.

I love doing this stuff!

The pictures don't do the system justice. The loop looks like it's not level, but it is. I have to add another set of hangers near the primary circulator. Yes, the angle of the picture looks like the spirovent is coming out of the zone 1 valve....

that spirovent was a **** moment *~/:)

sort of a optical delusion

Spirovent placement and closely spaced tees

I just did a search about the placement of spirovents on here the other day, curious about any need for a certain distance they needed to be away from what I'd consider turbulence- pumps~elbows~tees.

One post mentioned 18" from the circulator. Looking at these pictures, I see the vent in these pictures is far away from circulator, but right ahead of an el and just past a tee. Do they have no influence on spirovent operation?

Is the only important dimension the distance from the cirulator. What exactly is accomplished by keeping the "air remover" far from the pump.
