Plumbing / Re: Sidearm help
« on: January 08, 2012, 07:58:51 AM »
Here is a pic of my set up. I have 2 Teenage Girls and never run out of hot water. Mine is first then the furnance and I also plummed the incoming boiler water to the top of the sidearm and leave the bottom. Some will say that it wrong but it works. I am no thermo expert. LOL. but many years ago when I was in the navy you always entered colling water at the coolest point of the heat exchanger and flowed to the hotest part. and the reverse for heating. so I plumed all my stuff that way. Good luck Because it saves me 25 bucks on the old electric bill ! Oh and dont forget the anti scald device. I have had 183 degree water come from the kitchen sink.

Rsi I thinkyour right what is now happing is that the extra draft is causing the flapper on fan to open during my idling times. thinking that i might angle the fan and flaper to get gravity to help me.

well just added 9 more feet of stack that puts me at 21 feet (a little to close to buildings so the start up smoke can be bothersome). Do any of you run rain caps?
