Thanks for sharing, do you have everything set up in series or how is it plumbed. I'm thinking about some type of manifold setup. There is so many ways to set these units up

Getting ready to start the plumbing on the back of my 7500, pump is going in the house.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Good morning Vincent, what is it in particular you are asking for? the one suggestion I would make is to leave some slack in your pex piping to use as a swing joint for frost heaving of your pad, I'm not sure if your stove should be plumbed with supply at the top or bottom, I like to cross over my piping from side to side for better mixing within the boiler, here is an example, this is one of my Portage and Main 250's

Good morning all,

Hey Slim, since I am at least an hour away from a decent plumbing supply, I was wondering if the Ridgewood guys used the dealer supplied schematic for plumbing the back of their units.  It looks pretty straight forward, but since I am almost on my own on this ( and an average plumber at best ), I thought I would make sure I wasn't missing anything as far as parts were concerned.  My pump is going to be in our mechanical room where our hot water heater and furnace are.  We are trenching tomorrow ( Friday ) and then on to start plumbing.  I want to thank you personally for all that you do for this site.  You have helped so many people like me and others, I'm not sure it is measurable.  Regardless of what P&M thinks, you not only do them a professional service by helping everyone, you help the industry as a whole.  We will be a lot stronger together than alone.

Thanks Vincent, those are very kind words and much appreciated, when you get ready for your install, post a plumbing schematic and we can all look it over to be sure you are not missing anything.
