120 btu or less. I have two zones and would like to avoid the primary zone and just use the two zone pumps I have. Something simple. Currently using HWH which works fine except in frigid cold temps. Need something to get water temp to 180 degrees. HWH only goes to 130-140. Any suggestions?

I ended up putting in an AO Smith power vent HWH. 2 zones no primary and secondary zones. Temp to 150 not 180 like the boiler. I'll see how it goes. Wasted $300 on service techs that called the same Weil Mclain i did. Had to use power vent because I got rid of my chimney. Time will tell.

Currently trying to fix my weilmclain aquabalance which is acting up. Was looking for a direct vent unit without all the complicated computer stuff like my weilmclain. No primary and secondary loop stuff. I was even thinking of a small tank heater. The problem with these boilers is, the...

I'll look up the spiro vent on the return. Have bleed to 2 zone 007 loops. This is for heat? Water side? Do you mean return side? Water feed is to the air seperator and bladder expansion tank. The temp goes to 200 degrees and shuts off after calling for heat. No circulation. The hot side...

Looked it up and it says either heat sensor gone, Air in system or circulator pump problem. The only way I know how to purge air is via a hose on each zone. I check pumps to see if I can feel anything. Suggestions, Thanks.

The town does allow for an AAV so long as it's accessible. That's the way to go. Thanks.

I'm putting in an outside shower. I would normally drain it into a drywell, but new regulations say it needs to go into the sewer. A vent and trap seem unnecessary as the sewer gas would just come back up the drain making a vent unnecessary. A vent stack if needed would have to go thru...

One more thing. This primary/secondary needs a separate circulating pump. And the connection between the supply and return takes place before the hot returns to the boiler. It sounds similar to the HWH circulator pump which is useless in this case. Just talking to myself.

I'm replacing my cga4 with a Aquabalance wmb120. I have 2 taco 007 with built in check valves and have a question about the Primary/secondary connection. Where does it go? Is it necessary? I have 2 taco 007 on the boiler return, one per zone hooked up to a taco 2 zone controller. I have...

I just put in all my PVC piping from the basement thru the first floor, 2nd floor and into the attic where I will put water in to do a test. I forgot to glue a 3" street 45 in the basement so I have a leak. I thought it was glued and started cutting it to get it out when I pulled it right out...

Problem solved. 3 amp fuse blown. tested the transformer and it was 24 volts and ok. I put the boiler in after hurricane sandy so the fuse must have blown around then. Could never shut the emergency switch on boiler otherwise the AC wouldn't work. Since I removed the boiler the...

Thanks for all you help, today I'll run for a new thermostat and a voltage tester. Then I can tell if Im getting 24 volts from the transformer, if not, I'll replace.

Thanks for the help.

Everything worked fine with the boiler attached. I'm wondering if it was running off of the boiler transformer. When I shut off the boiler emergency switch the ac wouldn't work so I left it on all the time. I only use the blue for RC, the green for the fan and yellow. I jumped the rh and...

No problem with the ac until I removed my boiler thus 2 wires not connected. I currently have a rite temp thermostat from HD. Had it for years. I now only have a yellow, green and blue going to the blower and that's it. I disconnected the red and white because it's no longer used. Not...
