Gee, I could have sworn that I hooked up your boiler that way didn’t I?

You did slim and it saved plenty of time and aggravation because I did the inside connections and the connections to the old boiler and those took time and were aggravating. Never said I did it just explained how it was done but if you need credit for it then here is your credit for it.

Gee, I never said I needed credit for it Hordac but you are forgetting a very important fact, as I told you then,the number one reason for using it is for flexibility in case the frost moves your pipe, I have seen many times in our early years where the frost pulled the fittings off the Logstor and emptied the boiler  taking out the circulator before it’s time, the heater hose allows for stretching unlike any pet, since using it for the connections we have had zero issues.

Thanks for understanding what I was thinking guys and not typing...Yes, I meant to say that pump needs to be turned 1/4 turn in the picture so it would be "horizontal".

That's an old picture.  It was fixed before the first season of heating with that system at this house.  As simple as just turning the flange fittings 1/4 turn.

Interesting.  I didn't know this, but it makes sense.
