Plumbing / Re: PEX Install Questions
« on: September 16, 2013, 11:44:29 AM »
I'm in Arkansas so not artic temps. I do want to protect the pipes and add a little insulation. I will have this OWB wired to my generator so I can have heat in a power outage.
The patio that I'm going to build will protect them well but I want the best setup I can have.

Plumbing / PEX Install Questions
« on: September 15, 2013, 08:00:40 PM »
I've got my Underground mostly installed but have a situation.
My house is on a crawl space and the utilities underground interfered with my pex underground. So I'm going to have to come above ground level for the last 6ft. I will build a patio over the pex so there won't be any trouble there but,,,,
Do I insulate the insulated pex? Should I use foil board and box it? Foil board and wood inclosure?
I really could use some advice.

I agree with the manufacture's recommendations and the site shows the supply going in the back at the top. My model has the top pipe going across the top not into the back. I am thinking it might be above the water level. Am i over thinking this??

I bought a previous generation Earth Wood Mountain Man 500 and have a question.
The current model shows the supply coming out toward the top rear of the unit and returning toward the bottom. My unit, the supply would actually be going across the top at the rear. Does this sound right?

I've got room and access just above the strips and I'm planning on slipping it in there.
Thanks for all the replys.

Earth Outdoor Wood Furnaces / Port Question Mountain Man Series
« on: May 13, 2013, 08:51:45 PM »
On the rear of my Mountain Man I see where the domestic connects, and on the right hand side is a supply and return. Supply at the top? and on the left side I see another supply (top) but no fitting at the bottom.
Is is just plugged under the sheet metal?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Couple Questions for New Install
« on: May 13, 2013, 08:47:50 PM »
I got me an Earth Wood Mountain Man furnace and have a few questions on the installation.
1: I read that the Hx in my central unit needs to be installed prior to my back-up heat strips. That will be a difficult thing in deed. Can I mount it say 12-16" beyond the strips or will the strips harm the Hx?
2: Will I have to increase the blower speed? and if so how?
Thanks,
Brian

Fire Wood / Re: New Splitter Project
« on: May 11, 2013, 09:05:44 PM »
The specs show it to be a 23gmp gear pump and my motor is a 15hp. If I can get them coupled, does anyone know if it would work?

The engine in the dozer was, I believe, 38-42hp.
I will see if I can track down the specs.

Fire Wood / New Splitter Project
« on: May 10, 2013, 12:40:40 PM »
I am getting everything together to start a new splitter build. I have hydraulis pump off a John Deere 450 dozer. It was front mounted to the engine in the original setup. I know it ran the 6-way blade on the dozer, would it be appropriate to use on a splitter?
I have read through most of the posts and have learned a lot. I am going to put the wedge opposite the hitch, I never thought about all the wood piling up between the truck and the splitter.
Thanks for the great knowledge here.
