RidgeWood Stoves, defunct, support only / Creosete management

« on: November 26, 2014, 10:41:52 AM »

I'm been running my 7500 for about 2 weeks now. I've noticed that the whole inside of the fire box is coated with creosete-should I be doing anything to manage that? Should I be scraping the wall daily/weekly? Only maintenance during the season that Ridgewood mentions is taking care of the ash. Do any of you guys clean your stoves on a regular basis or is it just at the end of the season? Anybody using Ashtrol?

Plumbing / Street Tee?

« on: November 05, 2014, 10:43:23 AM »

First Post. I'm trying desperately to get my Ridgewood installed and going before any serious weather comes through. I've pretty much got it except for tying into my gas boiler. I've got a flat plate HX that I need to install, problem is to make the install easiest I've got a space constraint. I need 2 tee's and a ball valve right in line with each other. All 1-1/4" copper. if I could shave off an inch somewhere I could make it work. Problem is that all the mentioned fittings are female, if just one end of any of them were male I'd be all set. I can't seem to find a street tee big enough. I found this one but it's 3/4: http://www.faucetdepot.com/faucetdepot/ProductDetail.asp?Product=153123&AffiliateID=GoogleDirectFeed&gclid=CNftqtf748ECFSFgMgodohIAhQ

I did find this one which looks like a street tee in the picture but no mention in the description. Seems the whole product line is using that picture: http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/plumbing/fittings/copper/tee-copper-x-copper-x-copper-1-1-4-x1-1-4-x1-1-4

Anybody have an idea on what I can do? I just need this one part figured out and I'll be set.
