I am in the processing of purchasing my 1st OWB which will likely be an Empyre Pro 200. I plan to run 1" Logstor between the OWB and the basement with the intent on heating the house through forced air and DHW. I'm trying to identify the best way to seal the Logstore penetration in my poured concrete foundation wall and was hoping others have already solved this problem.I just patched my openingn with some sand, mortar and seal bond (a type of plastisized powder that mixes with the mortor to become water repellent) i am sure there are many more typesAlso, I am planning to use 1" Logstor based on only 60' between the OWB and the house. Will this line size be sufficient to heat 3400 ft2 and DHW? i think most guys run one inch and have no problems, i run 1 inch heating a 2 story and partial basement 1800 square foot home (main floor) and it is an older farm house. my stove is 250 feet from the house. I have never NOT been able to heat this house if cost is not too much of a burden when dealingn with underground pipe it is also my opinion "bigger is better" it will allow you to run a smaller pump that will burn less power and it will allow for expansion of the system if you add floor heat or more square footage to your home at a later date
