Yes it is mild steel, no they are not even close in design, for instance Coolidge and I just ran some tests on the two that I have here, the Polar is running a far cooler(by100 degree) stack temp and higher water temp than the HeatMaster. Polar also uses a complete outside cabinet to cut back on some of the heat loss associated with the loading and reaction chamber doors, this also cuts down on the amount of condensation found on door jams.

Oh wait…you already said something about not being able to ship to Canada? Or was that another thread/person.

No, that was me..supply house won't ship to Canada. I have looked at a few other places but nothing for sure yet. Seems I can get a Wilo Star 33FC, 3 speed pump, they say it is equivilant to the Taco 0011 or Grunfos 2699F

Do not choke your main loop plumbing down!
At what point can I go to 3/4 ?
I see that mixing valves, zone valves, and plate exchange for DHW are usually 3/4 MPT

I forget now Dave but if you are going more than about 50 feet to the garage then I would make a primary loop of 1 inch and use 2 tees, one could be a monoflow, for your radiant

I am real sorry SlimJim but I still don't understand at what point I can change from 1" PEX to 3/4 copper in the house and 1" PEX to 1/2 inch in the garage for the radiant floor pipe and manifold. I will try to draw something up and post back what I think I need to do. I will post it in the other thread so I am not jacking this one.

You are fine Dave, you are keeping me from causing concern on the other thread anyway, I know I shouldn't be doing that but dam it I'm pissed! As far as a diagram, how about EMailing me with your idea, as far as flow goes the stove won't care but your heat load might!

Hey slim, no need to let a teenager get under your skin. We are grown men, just laugh it off or have a beer.  Punk kids these days are flocking my work place by the dozens everyday.  Luckily enough I have to power to fire these little motor mouths.  You are an intelligent man and I thank you for all your advise I have already gotten on your behalf.  Happy Easter btw!

Thanks for the pump suggestion RSI. I will look into them and see if they are available to me here..

So, I will need to do some more looking to find 1" valves and such. That is why I ask here...thanks SlimJim
Is there somewhere I can figure out what flow rate and head I need ? Must be a calculation somewhere..

If you can, get those valves in full port, some may have one inch fittings but the hole thru em is more like 3/4”.

Thanks..I still can't wrap my head around were to drop pipe size down. When the 1" comes into the house, were does the size drop ?
And for the garage, If I get the 1"MTP plate exchanger, does the other loop off the primary on the other side of the plate have to be all 1" as well, how about the manifold ?

You won’t actually drop down on your boiler loop, keep it all 1”, your domestic hot water will be 3/4”.

Only place you might drop is if your using a flat plate and a mono flo T, 1” side’s with a 3/4” middle.

Mlappin is right,stay 1 inch through, if you need to drop down then do it at the tee rather it be mono flow or powered.
