This weights 300 lbs (297 to be exact), and it's much smaller.
I'm saying considerably more.- DePippo79

Just asked the wife what the way bill said. 800 lbs. 6'/1.5'/1.5'. Fortunately the breeezeway was built the same way as the house and barn. Real 2by8" floor joist and 8by8" sills. Plus the stone foundation was repointed at some point in it's life. The guy wanted us to buy it's twin, but I don't know where to put it. Barn? After this I should be all set when it comes to heating the place. Yes, when I pipe this in I want to redo the boiler manifolds so I can pipe a coal boiler right up. Remove end caps, add connecting pipe, and refill system, done. One of the forum members said he would be interested. I'll be calling a specialty moving company to get this in. No way can the wife and I do it. Overkill, probably but I like it. Now for the cars. The IROCs been together for years and is a driver the SS not so much. The electronic QJET is junk and every single brakeline has to be replaced. Typical northeast car. Once I fix the house maybe I'll have time/money for the toys again. Thanks for the comments. Matt

Matt,
I think I would re-enforce the 2x8 structure under the 800lb. "gorilla". That's a lot of weight, plus the water inside. A post at each end will keep the "sags" out. It will make a difference if the radiator runs parallel to the floor joist. Perpendicular, against an outside wall, not so much.
Not trying to tell you how to install this, just a suggestion. By the way,"tis a thing of beauty"!
Cheers

Many of the buildings around here going back 100-200 years had the old rough cut full size lumber cut from white pine. good idea to reinforce it if the span is over 8-10'. I've seen 3-4 of them on ~14" centers crack under load. Might not bee too bad if it's really close to the wall were most of the shear load is close to the bearing point. You'll know if it feels a little bouncy!D-frost wrote:Matt,

I second that. Wouldn't hurt to reinforce a little. Mine is sitting on a reinforced concrete pad, it ain't going anywhere.

Just notice the new replies. Thanks. I will get a second opinion on the floor, but the radiators in the rest of the house aren't really that much smaller. Anyway so much for just installing and piping it up. Now were into a breezeway remodel. See following pics if interested. Matt

Decided the four inch baseboard isn't going to work either. Not correct for the house. More pics. The breezeway was never finished when the house was originally built so the wall repair is moving along. Sheet rock not plaster. Matt

Just talked with my uncle the carpenter. Unfortunately I'm stuck with that metal door because of fire code. Plus I should reinforce the floor, because over time it will probably sag. Oh well. Off to get some more supplies. Matt
Are you looking for a wood door? Take a wood door, add 1/4 inch plywood on the outside, then have a sheet metal skin made to fit over the plywood and bam a fire rated door..DePippo79 wrote:Just talked with my uncle the carpenter.

Nice work Matt I owned a 250 yr old house in Amesbury many moons ago and there was always something to do. A shellac might match that beautiful woodwork in your home.
