I don't understand your venting comment. the washing machine drains into the stack and it's all vented through the roof. Please expound on what you mean? Or why my stack that is already vented isn't enough.

The cat litter was a stretch but never hurts to ask. Trying to save the wife some labor carrying it upstairs. Thanks for your help

If it were below the floor I wouldn't need a pump :D. The stack output to the street is about 1.5 above floor level but to get into the stack I need about 3 feet of rise.

I am considering a sink below grade so I will need a pump. I want to be able to put flushable cat litter through if it's all possible. I assume I need a toilet grade pump for this task. I would like advice on this potential project please. I plan to put a standard laundry type free standing...

L 400080B But I couldn't find anything on the web. That's from the installer

I have this Honeywell control for indirect my HWH. I want to raise the temp but I can't read where I line up the numbers to. This is partly poor lighting, partly old eyes and partly poor access. It's tucked away a bit behind the boiler and can't see the other side. Can I loosen that screw in...

I have a tempering valve set at 120, I scootched it up a few degrees and at the beginning the shower temp control is in the middle. It's a pretty new Delta shower called a Carlisle, has their latest cartridge in it.

Power Pipe brand is your brand of choice I take it? Did you research it or just pick it? Wish I had bought one a while ago before copper got so expensive and prices went up a lot!!!!

I know Dana is a strong proponent of the concept. I also know in plumbing you get three opinions for every two people.. lol That's why I am asking this question in a new thread. I would like to go with a 3" but it so very tight within the wall AND I believe by code if went to 3 inch I have to...

Considering installing one but not sure if the claims are accurate for effectiveness or if it's simply "snake oil". My current shower drain is 2" but I can use an entire floor below the shower for length. So I could use an 78 or 82 inch version from Power Pipe Claims it's 53-56% efficient...

Let's say I want to go bigger. Is there a downside to ADDING a tank or is replacement the only proper remedy? Two 45's would give me 90 (duh) and potentially a back-up..

To Gary, the pipe from the boiler is 1 inch as well as the return. Dana, the Viesmann is the smallest one with a Riello burner. I think 80k btu was the number??? 20 minutes is a long time for a shower IMHO but it's the mother of my children, what can I do except complain a bit, a little...

I wasn't quite sure how to interpret that 2.5 spec listed twice. Maybe someone who knows for sure can chime in. Bottom line is the flow is throttled pretty far back to to 50-75% of max flow. The HWH is on the priority zone. Guy said it wasn't when he came but the initial install guys said it...

In the springtime had installed Viesmann Vitronic 100 and Superstor 45 gallon indirect water heater. Shower is delta Carlisle rated at 2.5 + 2.5 GPM. Water heater on priority zone. Boiler has outdoor reset setback controls. Installed by very reputable contractor. Oil fired. WH was set to 130 and...

Looking at a 60"-72" long 2" power pipe hooked up to my shower only in a wall on the first floor between the shower on second floor and basement where the boiler is. Does the thing really work as advertised? http://www.renewability.com/general/residential.html We have 4-5 people showering...

First of thanks for all your help over the past few weeks. I learned a lot... I have my oil usage of 775 gallons for winter 09-10 and 1107 for all of 09. 720 gallons for 10-11 winter with 987 for 2010 total. 430 so far 2011 total. Still don't have heat load calculations in hand, might be in...

In combo with Advanced Feature Module and Ultra Plus 40 Indirect HWH? Riello Burner. http://www.weil-mclain.com/en/our-products/boilers/oil-fired-boiler/ultra-oil-boiler.aspx Have a quote in for this boiler that's in the game and the brochure looks really nice (sarcasm). Still waiting...

Did a quick search didn't see what I was looking for What are the various types of piping insulation with their strengths and weaknesses? Foam looks cheapest? Does it make sense to insulate hydronic baseboards lines NOT in the zone they are servicing ie in the basement? Return runs...

WOW again, have you ever written a book in an afternoon? lol Really appreciate the time. I can measure my rads but there are older "Suntemp" and some newer "slant-fin" on the additions. If I did a detailed floor plan with windows, rads and footage could you design a suggested system? Or is...

Dana, wow ton of info in there. I know I don't get it all but first of all would the Buderus 115ws/3 be considered a high or low mass boiler? Is the logamatic controller a "smart" system anticipating shutdown etc?. Brochure is a little thin on hard data. lots of marketing speak. I am venting...
