I concur, you have a loop you don't need that needs to be eliminated. Two plugs are cheaper and easier than a valve, thank God there is a union there!

Oh, I know, the burgers are good. Been there more than once
The ball valve does give you options, but the plugs will do the same.
Rudi's is local to you and not very far from me, we should do this.
A ball valve installed (closed) at that location is akin to plugs as others and myself have suggested. It will work once the loop missing the circulator is eliminated. Right now there are three...
It does make sense. He is a real character.
I second that motion however with a quality bourbon
That is similar to what I am suggesting.
It's a do over if you want to make it 100% correct.
No it won't, it's a loop with no circ, that's what's causing the issue.
I will wager that if plugs are installed at the circled locations it will start to work. Maybe not the optimal piping arrangement, but I believe it will work.843559
We have an escalara also, worth it's weight in gold
Yes that is possible. You can use either a Buderus or an Energy Kinetics System 2000 to run hydronic coils for forced air heat. You might also look into panel radiators, they have a different look...
I like it!!! You can save some space and some $$$ by using black pipe instead of Vei$$manns hydraulic seperator. It will make it just a tad thinner. I also try to prefabricate my installs whenever...
He seems to have pretty consistent aim too! Good boy!
The TT has a stainless steel heat exchanger, the Greenstar has an aluminum heat exchanger. The Lochinvar I don't know I have no experience with them. Look at Vessmann they have a stainless steel...
I have put in a few Greenstar's , can't say there have been any issues (would have heard boss grumbling about it). But I'm a little partial to the Viessmann combi's, easier to program, stainless...
That's a Buderus GB 142
What he said, haven't found a more comfortable boot yet.
The Buderus LT only comes with a well for the aquastat. The Logamatic comes with the 10K sensor.
The TT Solo Trimax will work with either an aquastat (switch) or the sensor that comes with the...
Unless your in the Arctic Circle I'd get the Solo 60 and keep the LT 160. The Solo 110 is probably too big. The LT 160 does my one full bath home just fine with a family of four.
The TT boiler can be programmed to work with either an aquastat (4006) or it's sensor for a domestic hot water demand.
The TT boiler comes with the sensor for the domestic tank and it will fit into the well of the Buderus tank. When the Buderus sensor is used it gets clipped to the front of the tank on the LT's...
The boiler should be sized for the heat loss of the house. The indirect should be sized for the hot water demand. If the amount of hot water with an LT 200 may be an issue, get a larger indirect. ...
Nope, I put one in a crawlspace a few years ago for just that reason. In my own house I have space issues and the boiler is on top of the LT.
Why are you getting an LT, they take up more room than the equivalent sized ST tank?
It will couple just fine to the TT Solo 110.
FYI I have an LT 160 in my own home, 8 years old now.
The Beckett Aquasmart has an adjustable circ delay on and off feature built into it.

I have my neighbors (who also happens to be my helper) set with a .5 nozzle in a Beckett NX can't remember the pump pressure but it's at least 140. The joke in the summer is my oil tank gauge is...
You won't be sorry with the B-3, your fuel consumption will go down. With regard to the heat loss, the B-3 is as small as you can go so as long as it's large enough, problem solved!
I'd wager that the B 10/3 would work. I put a B 10/3 in a house about your size and it worked just fine last winter and the winter before that and the one before that. As someone stated earlier...
Around here the System 2000 is about $ more than the Buderus installed.
A lot of how a boiler sounds is based on the chimney and whether or not it has an outside air kit on it. Some chimneys make the boiler sound louder than it really is.
It's roughly 72" x 36", it's...
System 2000 is quietest oil fired boiler I have heard. If noise is an issue it's the way to go. If you can tolerate a little sound then there are other options like a stackable system that Buderus...
It has a purge feature built into it so it doesn't waste heat. It may have a little higher than optimal BTU output than some other boilers, but any boiler will probably be oversized for your home...
Someone needs to run a heatloss calc to find out what size would be appropriate for your residence.
Based on your baseboard footage number it's probably 50,000 btu's or under (just a guess).
...
Cast iron we usually do Buderus, mod con it's a Viessmann Vitodens.
The Biasi B 10 is a quality boiler, for what my opinion may be worth.
Heatwise has been out of business for almost three years now, FYI
We've been using the Beckett CG 4, really easy to set up.
Nice, somebody like cutting and threading pipe!
I had my C75 serviced a little over a year ago by UEI and it was $260. The oxygen sensor takes a dump every two years like clockwork, other than that it has worked great for seven years I've had it.
It's like the Wayne's World of fishing.
You need to run the heat loss for each room to determine how much baseboard goes in each room. If you don't the rooms will be out of balance, some too warm, some too cool. You can adjust it a...

I had Powersmith at my home, the presentation was excellent. Powersmith and Green Audit USA basically do weatherization and insulation which we know further reduces the heat loss making a correctly...
I did a heat loss on my home, what a waste of time. 40,000 BTU's on a design day, I'm still looking for the right size boiler. Assuming the "average" sized home in Wantagh, you can't find a small...
Green Audit USA does energy audits on Long Island
What's the code for distance to the gas meter/regulator? Couldn't help it they're in the same photo.
I don't have any experience with the other units you mentioned.
Baseboard doesn't always need to run at 180 degree temperatures to deliver enough heat to the house.
If rooms are short on...
Contrary to popular belief high efficiency equipment works just fine with hydronic baseboard. Is it as efficient as other types of radiation, well anytime you can use lower water temperatures you...
The ES-2 is a decent piece of equipment, it is an atmospheric cast iron gas boiler. It will require a chimney liner if it is vented into a masonry chimney. If you have a metal prefab chimney the...
