I may have been wrong about the check valve. It's actually just a regular switch valve that you can open and close. Does that matter? As you can see in the pic, there is also one right above where the pipe burst. When these furnaces are operating correctly, should both valves be open?
Thanks again.

Thanks again for the quick replies:
There is a check valve inside the house. I had to turn it off in order to stop the water from pouring out of the hole.
Because this is a supply line that's purpose is to fill the tank when low, could I still run the furnace and manually fill it when needed? Does anyone have an idea what could have caused the pipe to burst where it did? Remember that the pump was not running when then the rupture occurred and when I turned off the water I could feel hot air coming out of the opening.
Much appreciated!

Hi guys, thanks for the quick replies. Attached is a pic of the burst. I'm not quit sure what kind of pipe it is...
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hardy / Burst Cold Water Supply Line
« on: September 23, 2012, 08:27:03 PM »
This is my first post and first time owning an outdoor furnace so please bare with me....
Just bought a home with a Hardy H4 and fired it up for the first time to test it out. The furnace ran for about 20 minutes and then the cold water supply line burst just below the solenoid for the automatic fill. After I got the water line valve in the house turned off I realized that the pump wasn't plugged in and wasn't circulating the water. Could that have been what caused the pipe to burst? I'd like to know for sure before I fire it back up.
Thanks!
