Final resting place for my axeman . The hole to the coal bin is already there . It looks a lot smaller when the dolly is out from under it . Dave

Nice, clean install Dave. Sure looks sweet!!!!! Are you running your domestic hot water or waiting for next winter to open her up a little?

Do you apply that with a brush or a sprayer?

Test burn . Still have to finish up the wiring . I have some stuff temporarily run till I can get more parts . Long process but almost there . I have made a few changes since this install pic but close enough . The fire is this morning .

Very interesting piping

Whats that big red B&G pump pushing out to?

Flyer5 · Post by **Flyer5** » Fri. Jun. 27, 2008 1:13 pm

There are 3 water temp zones . The Pex tubing for the radient floor heating gets lower water temp . The Baseboard heaters get boiler temp water .The other is the domestic coil that also uses a honeywell mixing valve to control dhw temp it does so very well . The big red B&G is my circulator pump it is only 1/12hp which is standard for circulator pumps also I have a differential pressure regulator between the hot and return pipes . So far seems to work really well . Dave
