    how to refill and hot water system

    I have a pumped hot water monoflow system with 8 convector radiators. I'll be draining the system so that I can move some of the existing pipes around. Draining the system seems pretty straight-forward to me (but if anyone has any tips, I would certainly appreciate them). However, I don't...

    Tv splitters

    Yes, definitely use RG6, Make sure you scrap all of the 450 MHz stuff (splitter and amplifiers). You want to get all 1 GHz amps and splitters (even 1.5 or 2 GHz if it's availible). But first, you should see if you even need an amplifier. Turn if off and see what the picture looks like...

    Replacement of a hot water iron pipe monoflow to pex or smaller copper

    Thanks for your help, fellas. Much appreciated. Two more questions regarding the two pipe solution. Is there any downside to doing 1 1/2" Pex to a couple 4 output manifolds. Then having 1/2" Pex from each manifold output go to each convectors....and obviously reverse for the return water...

    Replacement of a hot water iron pipe monoflow to pex or smaller copper

    OK so I was thinking that maybe just dropping the monoflow system and going to a Two Pipe system would be much easier. The question would be is could I do this system with convector radiators and a 1" PEX pipe?

    Replacement of a hot water iron pipe monoflow to pex or smaller copper

    Thanks for the comments. I've just rechecked and I have 1 1/2" cast iron. Not sure if that makes the pressure situation better. Another thought is, could I swap out to a smaller pump to make the system pressure lower?

    Replacement of a hot water iron pipe monoflow to pex or smaller copper

    I have a 1 1/2" cast iron monoflow heating system with 8 convector radiators running off of the loop. I am looking to refinish my basement and would like to get some extra headroom. My house is 24'x44'. I'm inquring about the possibility of switching out the cast iron with pex or copper...
