General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / For those who have bought large parts online, how is the quality, any problems?

« on: November 30, 2013, 07:30:32 AM »

In my other post I asked where good placed to buy plumbing parts online was and many good suggestions where given, now some of these prices seem to good to be true. I've been talking to the dealers that sell OWB and some are quoting $800 for a 100 plate heat exchanger, and I see the badger insulated pipe web site has them for $425, probably not the same manufacture but are they good quality or made in china?

1" pex oxy barrier is .82 cents/foot. Dealer is around $1.00.

38" stainless double wall sidearm is $133, dealer $120 for a copper one.

Has anyone regretted or found quality issues with items purchased online? Please share any bad experiences.

Also why on pexsupply 1" oxy barrier made by Rifeng for 300 feet is $194 and for 1" hePEX plus 300 feet its $525

Thanks, this site is great with many good people on it

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Where's a good online place to buy new plumbing parts, heat exchangers, fittings

I am shopping around for a outdoor boiler. Leaning towards a Heatmor 200 and am wanting to do as much of the install as possible. I am mechanically inclined, I have detailed instructions on how to lay out all the plumbing, I've watched videos on soldering tips, now I'm shopping around for the parts such as, 1" pex from house to boiler, water to water heat exchanger, domestic water heater, shut off valves, pumps, etc. Is there a good web site that sells quality stuff for a good price?
