going the distance??
« on: December 20, 2013, 11:55:41 AM »
Hi all,  I was just curious,  What is the distance between your OWB.  and your building or dwelling you are heating?  I have a Woodmaster 4400 heavy duty and it is about 90-100 feet from my house and about 20 feet from my barn.  Thanks all.

My OWB is about 30 feet from the house but the piping runs about 80' underground due to where it enters the foundations into the basement.  Roger

My OWB is about 25-30 feet from my house.  Glad it's not any further cause digging 30ft of trench was killer...

Pointer I have just about the same as you, about 90' because I remember pulling in 2 pieces of 1" pex that were 100 foot pieces I cut a little off and there's a little down in back of the boiler and a bit up into my utility room.

well looks like i got the record so far, i had to go 225 ft from the house due to the communist state of ct's regs.
otherwise i wouldnt have been able to install one, it defnitely drove up my costs quite abit. i went with the good insulated pipe and dug the trench myself w/ machine to save money. i was told you only loose less than 1/2 degree every 100 ft.
