Plumbing / Is that pipe stiff or what...??
« on: October 08, 2010, 09:39:29 PM »
Hello everyone,
I have the insulated pipe ran to the back of the furnace, insulation peeled off to expose the 2 pipes inside but am finding it extremely difficult to place the pipe into the fittings. The pipe is so stiff I am afraid the kink or break it should I bend it into place. I was thinking of warm it up with a heat gun to make them more plyable to be able to rout them to the outlet and inlet fittings... Any thoughts or experiences in dealing with this problem?? Thank you

Sorry, another newb question,
There is an aquastat on the inlet line just before it enters the plenum to the h/x, I'm not exactly sure what this is for?? I have 2
thermostats upstairs, one is for the forced air blower and electric heater in the furnace to come on and the other is for the blower
only to come on (water to air h/x). Just moved in not too long ago and trying to set things straight, first time dealing with this stuff, just
burnt wood inside for 25 years so forgive my ignorance. thanks again

So guys, from what I gather one pump should be sufficient. I'm not exactly sure what model of Taco pump i have inside, I'll check
when i get home after work and get back to you.

Hello everyone,
I've been keeping an eye on this forum for awhile now. I just purchased a new owb to replace an old homemade job and am going
to be installing about 80 feet from the house and also about 4 to 6 feet below the h/x. Now from what I've been reading I'll need a
check valve at the outlet. There is one pump inside the house already, so do you think I'll need another at the boiler? It is an
atmospheric design. I am putting some gravel down and then will pour a pad.
Thank you
