that is an older model, they didnt even bother to change the model number, -.- https://www.laars.com/products/product/ft-series-wall-heat-only https://www.supplyhouse.com/Laars-MFTHW140NA2XN-MFTHW140-129000-BTU-Output-FT-Series-High-Efficiency-Wall-Mount-Heat-Only-Boiler-NG-LP

The 140k Laars model I have listed has a 10:1 turn down, that is why I chose it over the 100k model, that only has 5:1. It can modulate down to 14k vs 20k. Where did you read the Laars HE has aluminum fins?, that is the type of info I am looking for. My planned supply temps should not exceed...

You got me looking at Legend's HyperPure. You can use F1960(just slower compression). Apparently no leeching...hmmm 100yr warranty!?, why are more people not talking about this?

I believe it is just the leftover byproduct of the manufacturing process, more so than a break down, as contaminants significantly decrease as time goes on.

Looks like manufactures need to clean/simulate water flowing through these lines for a good 3 months to get a good drop in the VOCs, but that still doesn't stop anything coming in from outside the home, as more and more municipalities move to a plastic pipe. My question is how harmful are these...

I think you are missing the main point of my post, using unions, haha bypass for sure city water

definitely Soldering certain sections is always an option, but if you wanted to be able to change something out and you were using solely pex, how would you do it?

This is just residential, so all ball values will be used. Water hammer is irrelevant for the few times you would need to change a filter/whatever. https://www.supplyhouse.com/Webstone-H-30424W-1-Expansion-PEX-x-FNPT-Union-Ball-Valve-Lead-Free The above ball valve is pricey, but it eliminates...

What are the options for unions when using pex? ..lets say for a filter.. I can use a combo of these two, but is there a better way? https://www.supplyhouse.com/Webstone-H-40424W-1-Threaded-x-FNPT-Union-Full-Port-Ball-Valve-Lead-Free...

my old post was brought back to life :) I ended up buying a Reed DEB4 tool, it is awesome for the outside edge, 1.5-4" pipe for the inside, i use one of the pen tools, like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Reaming-Pen-48-22-4255/206578624

I assume this is for the off chance the island vent would get clogged? It certainly makes things a lot more difficult in my current setup. Thank you I was trying to avoid using AAVs --- One last thing, any reason two toilets cannot be fed off of a single 1/2" pex line. I will most likely be...

I am basically doing what the picture you posted is doing with a slight twist... The right side is solely a drain for the kitchen, the left acts as a drain and vent for the laundry. I will also most likely be tying the vents for a floor drain and condensate drain into that foot vent. Is...

The vent will run along the joists a couple feet, run up a wall, then into the attic. That 1.5” vent is planned to handle the laundry and kitchen sink, as seen. It will also most likely pick up a floor drain and an unused condensate drain before going up the wall. Is the 1.5” pipe sizing and...
