    Diaphragm expansion tank location on American Standard ng boiler

    If YOU are installing the boiler I strongly suggest that you thoroughly read and understand the installation manual that comes with the boiler. The questions you are asking lead me to believe that you have just about no knowledge of hydronics or proper piping and installation procedures. While...

    Which is a better boiler. Peerless or Burnham

    The whole problem with that scenario is of course, the cost of making and distributing electricity. The current administration has pretty much put the kybosh on coal generating plants and nobody is building nuke's for use in this country although the rest of the world is keeping Westinghouse...

    Best method to determine fall with trenched pipe

    A quality laser level works very well = most expensive option A transit or builders level works just about as well = still pretty expensive A length of string, some stakes and a tape measure works well = a lot more work but pretty accurate A 4' level sort of works = not much expense but a...

    Which is a better boiler. Peerless or Burnham

    Oil is not dead or even close to dead. In the northeast regions, natural gas is not available and the price of propane is well higher than number two fuel oil. There are thousands of businesses and homes that rely on fuel oil for heat. The price of electricity in the northeast is the highest...

    Fleck 7000 / Clack Resin Tank Leak - Plumber Installation Problem or Defect

    So many replies to the whole lube issue I was beginning to think I had logged on to the wrong site LOL So nobody is surprised that I couldn't manage to destroy either a valve or a tank by grossly cranking on them? I'm just about ready to start testing the whole mis-alignment thing too. I...

    Bathroom plumbing layout

    used as a vent only, the San-Tee is ok in that position although it pisses off the drain cleaner guys that insist on rodding vents for no reason LOL

    Fleck 7000 / Clack Resin Tank Leak - Plumber Installation Problem or Defect

    Yes some do have that warning. Most likely due to using either the wrong lubricant or slopping too much of it on. Realistically most installers may not have every recommended lube on their truck or in their tool bag so I can imagine that manufacturers have found O ring material that needs very...

    Fleck 7000 / Clack Resin Tank Leak - Plumber Installation Problem or Defect

    when its all gone you can use KY Jelly LOL Personally though, I thought it was pretty eye opening that even trying hard to destroy either the valve or the tank, I couldn't manage to break either. The next test I'm going to do is to put drastic stress up and down on the assembly and see if I...

    Fleck 7000 / Clack Resin Tank Leak - Plumber Installation Problem or Defect

    The lube helps the flat sealing surfaces to slide along the O ring rather than catch on it and tear or bunch it up.

    I Am 99% Sure I know the Problem, But I Don't Want To Admit It.

    I'd touch it long enough to get it out of the hole and put a new one in LOL

    Fleck 7000 / Clack Resin Tank Leak - Plumber Installation Problem or Defect

    Hey, I tried my best to destroy either or both the valve or the tank by cranking the living crap out of them but came up zero. O rings on the other hand are pretty easy to screw up.

    Bathroom plumbing layout

    Ok, I'll reply. First off, flat venting is illegal except in Massachusetts and using a sanitary tee in the horizontal position to receive waste is illegal in every state. Its impossible to give you solid and accurate advise based on the information provided. Every home is different. Framing...

    Which is a better boiler. Peerless or Burnham

    Well, no. Neither are furnaces. Lennox doesn't make boilers. They are both boilers. For oil my choices are Buderus followed by Biase

    Dealing with a catastrophe and need help with a PEX manifold

    Its not a pre-made manifold. It was made up from fittings and that's probably what you are going to have to do also.

    I Am 99% Sure I know the Problem, But I Don't Want To Admit It.

    Yes, maybe. We are required to use the rope, torque arrestors and wire standoffs. It adds a little cost to the job and a bit of time too but realistically its not a problem. I can understand not using rope in a 2" or 4" case because even if it doesn't rot off and fall down on the pump, unless...

    Indeed I have. My dad ran a drilling company in Florida for many years.
