My 7500 was delivered last night by Craig. I hope to get it installed very soon.
I got my insulated pex installed two weeks ago. Now just waiting on the
plate exchanger and few other things to arrive.
I will give updates when done.

Your gonna love it. Are you in Mich

He's busy waving at the propane trucks driving by right now, Scott. He'll be back after dark, lol.
-
Oh I see he's waving at propane trucks in Ohio
-
Yes in ohio. Not propane, fuel oil.

Youre going to be pleased with the amount of money youll keep in your pocket!!
-
My plate exchanger show up. Time to start.
-
I got some questions for everyone.
My hot water tank and existing boiler are in two different sides of the house. The pex comes in the wall by the existing boiler. What do you suggest for the hook up.
Do I move my hot water tank? Put the heat exchangers at each location or put hot water exchanger in with the existing boiler?
Also after all that I'm going to have a small heater in the garage.
Need some ideas.
-
If it were me I would try to set up a mechanical room at the boiler with water tank and heat exchanger, leave lots of room for manifolds hung on wall away from the boiler for easy service, most boiler service techs don't like servicing the competition.
-
So you wouldn't put them in direct line. Put them on an opposite wall with unions for service.

Either this craigslist ad is a mishap or ridgewood is looking to surplus what's left in stock before EPA starts dropping the hammer.

No It's a new OWB. Smaller unit. Read there PAGE!!!
-
I read their page and didn't see anything about a new stove. All I found was the epa stuff.
The new EPA government regulations will be going into effect in 2015. Be sure to purchase a quality built stove before that time. If you do your research you will learn that many of the new "high-efficency" stoves are poorly built –all glitz and lots of electronics. They have cut corners to get them quickly passed by the EPA. Remember,EPA does not test for quality,they only test the stack for impurities.
If you want a quality,heavy built stove - the Ridgwood stove –that's exactly what we have.
Buy now,before you're only choice is a EPA certified,but quality minimized competitor stove.

Here is the new OWB
2000 Square Foot Model
$2,799 Out the Door
The 2000 model firebox size is 30" x 37" with a door size of 18" x 18" and the stove weighs around 1200 pounds. The 2000 is a good size for a smaller house or shop. It circulates about 80 gallons of water. The fire box and water jacket are both built of heavy 3/8" thick steel.

Wissel sorry I missed this post, the thread seems to have been hijacked, do you still need help on this?

What kind of actuators do you have on the zone valves?
I have an entire Uponor system for heating system and controls; this is the Zone Control Board I have:
http://www.pexsupply.com/Uponor-Wirsbo-A3031003-Three-Zone-Control-Module (http://www.pexsupply.com/Uponor-Wirsbo-A3031003-Three-Zone-Control-Module)
They also make a 4 zone; pretty simple to wire Thermostats in top (2 or 3 wire); 24v Actuators off bottom.
This will not turn the pump on and off just the zones
However, add this: http://www.pexsupply.com/Taco-SR501-4-1-Zone-Switching-Relay (http://www.pexsupply.com/Taco-SR501-4-1-Zone-Switching-Relay) ;and use the end switch on the Zone Control Board in place of the thermostat connection in the relay

Slimjim yes I need help. I did some digging and found a post from October. It seems the same as my
problem. This is what you posted:
"A Honeywell 1018-6006C strap on aquastat can be used on the incoming wood boiler line, (copper or black iron ) to interupt B-1, simply install the aquastat on the incoming wood boiler line, set it at about 160 degrees, attatch two wires to the R+B terminals on the aquastat and run them down and interupt the B-1 wire, this kills the burner above the setpoint on the aquastat and when the wood boiler temp drops below setpoint of the aquastat the oil/gas burner returns to normal. "
If i unhook B-1 the boiler willn't fire correct? And if i add the aquastat it will be and back up?
Does the aquastat go into the water with a tee?
Thanks
