Monoflow with mixed radiators
Posted: Sat. Jan. 06, 2018 10:09 am
It's still winds as h*ll so I'm working on indoor stuff.
This week my son and I installed a big old cast radiator in the main room of my house. It's 2' x 4' and a thick one compaired to
most that i have looked at.
I have an old monoflow system and really did'nt know how this would work out. The piping went well, even though we drained
the system one morning to do cut-in and it was 5 deg out.
Cast iron puts out heat sorta like an old wood stove . I'm a lineman by trade. Only know a bit about heating so this is
fun for me. Try different stuff and see how it works. I was surprised that 1/2'' copper monoflow ''t'' could pull this much heat.
Anyway, stay warm. this can't last too much longer.
