I have an under basement slab P- trap connected to the 4 inch main that then exits the house. Because there is a full bath 20+ feet from the trap, the pitch has the trap about 2 feet under the slab. The wood surrounding the trap has all disintegrated and the dirt is starting to fall onto the p...

Hello, I have a 1955 cast iron hub with a 2 in galvanized pipe in what looks like 3 inch cast iron hub with a lead joint. The hub and pipe are vertical and I am seeking advice as to removing the lead that surrounds the pipe. I've seen examples of drilling out the joint with dozens of holes...

I am replacing a monoflow tee and its regular tee. Using a 1 inch x 3/4 inch in place of the 1 inch x 1/2 inch. This is to be used for a fin tube baseboard. When I open the drain valve at the return to the boiler and open the vents, there always remain just enough water to make things...

I have a single zone heated ranch feeding convectors through monoflow tees. I want to remove the copper 1 1/4 monflow trunk and replace with PEX. I realize I need to upsize to 1 1/2 for the Uponor and get PEX monoflow tees. Does it not make more sense to switch to a two pipe direct return system?

I have a battle with having to purge air from my monoflo system often during heating season. The circulator is somewhat closely mounted to the supply side. This means I don't have much of a run to mount a air elminator. I've seen and read that the vent has to be as close to the source coming...

I have a Burnham ES24 gas fired boiler with a controller that accommodates an outdoor reset module p/n 102723-01 option made by the same company. While this seems an obvious choice, it's more than twice the price of a Tekmar 256. I am asking if anyone has used the Burnham module or the Tekmar...
