ReplyLooks good, the only thing I do not like is in the middle photo the back wall.
The 2 center lines straight thru the tee's will flow more that the outside lines that are on the side outlets of the tee's.

Just finished this job and wanted to get a few pics up. Still waiting for Mech insulation, I will post updated pics when done. This is a fire station with 3 infloor heat zones and will have chilled water cooling later on from the 2- 10 ton heat pumps.

I think there are circuit setters, moot point if so...Originally Posted by kevink1955

Good eye, but I've got that covered. It's reverse return piped so that circuit #1 goes straight out but not straight back in. Circuit #2 is hooked up to the other side going straight back in so it's equal for both.

See response to kevik about reverse return piping. Also no need for circuit setters as both circuits are identical footages nearly down to the inch. I didn't want to complicate it and add pressure drop when not necassary. There are PT ports on all 4 pipes of both circuits we checked pressure drop and flow is a spot on match. Thank you for responding.

Is that diamond plate behind the controls?

The propress tool has been one of the best investments ever. Looking back at all the jobs like this we used to do by soldering I can't believe all the time I'll never get back. I have never had a leaking problem other than human error such as pipe not in far enough or in crooked and snagged the oring even that only a couple times. I just hope the connections outlast me.

Yes sir, 16 ga aluminum. Just for looks.

I know squat about geo but the piping sure looks purdy....nice touch with the diamond plate haven't seen that b4.

Wow, I'm impressed with that!

Very clean pipe work......Nice Job

Pretty clever - I like how you did that.
Depending on how long the circuits are (read- if they are very long and/or high head) - using the run or bull of the Tees won't effect flow in one circuit versus the other much anyhow. But, that being said, you thought about it and did the smart play by simply reversing the return path, so I'll just shut up. lol

Damn that looks sexy and clean

very nice if only every new install looked this good

Thats got be some of the nicest work I've seen in awhile.
Radiant heat threw out the house, and hot water? What Style house and square ft?
Professional Member
Its a fire station with radiant floors throughout. Upper levels wii be forced air addeed later with air handlers and water coils
