    hot water in zone when T-Stat not calling

    I have a 4 zone hydronic heating system. 4 taco pumps off a supply manifold. 3 zones are copper piped fin tube baseboard. The basement was added and has flexible rubber pipes and runs buderus panel radiators. The second floor zone just started running at about 72-74 regardless of what the...

    DIY causes Unrelated? problem was Watts Floodsafe

    Wish I'd seen this weeks ago Had a problem with the hot side of a brand new faucet "slamming" off after about 2 seconds of low flow. Called the MFR and they thought that the valve cartridge was faulty. After warranty hassles, I finally replaced the cartridge, installed the new, and BAM the...

    completed-thanks! Finished the installation, everything went more or less smoothly, except for a minor incident when the boyfriend couldn't figure out how to close the bleeder valve, and it sprayed across the room. That's what towels are for, and why I do the home repair work in this family...

    Advice for Newbie

    Sorry for the confusion Thanks for the responses. I mis-phrased my original question. I was thinking "radiant" in terms of heat radiates from the hot water, not the low temp radiant heat that you run in pex tubing under floors. There is no low-temp radiant on the system (although I'd love to...

    Advice for Newbie

    I am completing a complete DIY bathroom remodel and the final touch is to install a runtal hydronic towel warmer by patching it into an existing radiant heat loop in place of a section of fin-tube baseboard. Although I'm comfortable with the piping part of it, I've never drained a boiler...
