Thanks All.

Searched forum and couldnt find anything about it. My question is would you use 50/50 solder instead of 95/5 for plumbing water lines. Friend is throwing out a couple of rolls and asked if I wanted it. As I'm not to familiar with 50/50, ive used 95/5. What are the benefits if any of using...

Thanks.. We've got to rethink this..

Do Wall hung propane boilers fall under this requirment too?

Was hoping you guys can answer some questions. Quick background: Looking to replace our old oil boiler with a new boiler. We really want natural gas but its not on our street yet. We are being told it may happen in the future so we were thinking of buying the boiler but converting it to...

Can I use Uponor aquapex for a zone instead of using hePex?

Ballvalve, I didnt ask if my boiler was oversized or if I should have used a water heater. My question was about the size of the wire and breaker. I thank you for the response but JW and SpeedyPetey answered my question. Thank you to all who responded!!

Thanks for all the answers guys. Spent the better part of yeaterday talking to some contractors to instal as well as Slant Fin technical assistance. The boiler fully running draws 93amps with the circulator included. The elements are modulated to come on as needed. The boiler has an outdoor...

Ballvalve, Can you send me a diagram of what you have. I've heard about using electric water heaters but read that the recovery rate is not so good.

Thanks for the replies guys. The boiler is to replace a propane fangled mess we have right now. We need something to get us through the year and something that will be able to handle the "new" home we plan to build in the future. In that home we are going to go with a new propane boiler but...

JW, Not exactly following you on your post. This much I know. The 200 amp service to the house is for a future home we plan to build. Right now the bungalo has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen/bath and small open room. Stove is on propane. Only lights and a small fridge. Hot water is from a 30 gal...

Thank you.
