The rear deal
« on: September 26, 2014, 08:44:43 AM »
OK guys you all are great help. bought a cheap owb last year  ( ozark biomass e200 )  not nice not fancy just a basic stove and a great price. Installed it my self, screwed up the install got water in the lines . Used to much wood . still saved  a ton of money on heat.
this thing will pay for its self in 2 year easy. plus the thermostat stayed at 75 lol .
The guy i bought it from makes his own underground pipe (pipe wrap around supply line only covered in corrugated drain pipe)
run in a gravel driveway = EPIC FAIL .
I am moving the stove closer to the house ( also closer to wood ) running new lines plus adding lines for hot water.
Money is a issue . supporting a wife and  6 kids is tough . So at this point i am moving forward with what i have .
I am 10 foot from house and 5 foot under to the heat ex changer plus a few feet to come out of the ground at the boiler.
even if i found someone to sell me 20 ft at 15.00 a foot thats not a option. I understand this is only a band-aide .
Looking for the best way to do this . any cheap wrap slid in pvc ? corrugated , pipe wrap ? above or under ground ?
Anything you seen to get me by , its got to be better than 75 ft of waterlogged pipe. thanks

Flashpnt,

I had a customer that had a line leak at the back of a furnace and it filled his line full of water to his home about 40 ft. I told him to get a shop vac and suck the water out of the line and it worked very well.

Can you pull the insulated line and reuse it?

Just some ideas!
