    Newly Commissioned Radiant System Not Keeping Up

    Hello there. Have been lurking around these forums for a couple of years now and probably should have asked questions sooner when designing and planning my radiant system for my old house (1920s).

    Radiant floor pipe repair verification please - am I being swindled?

    ARIZONA A bathroom remodel guy in moving a toilet and a tub cut through 5 loops of radiant floor heating. I'm attaching pictures of what this same guy did to repair the pipes: steel crimps and elbows wrapped in different kinds of plastic buried in sand under a thin concrete slab. This...

    Circulator-Mixing Valve Orientation

    Thanks in advance for any help with this issue everyone. I recently installed a new WM Aqua-Balance 120C combi boiler in my 2-story 1911 craftsman. I have CI rads on the first and second floors that were running on one zone previously. As part of this project I zoned the floors separately...

    Hi all, I'm doing a reno of my 100-year old, semi-detached, 2-storey, double-brick Edwardian house, and I intend to replace the existing forced air system with an in-floor radiant system. The house is 500sq.ft. per level with an unfinished full size basement. (So 1000sq.ft. of living space...

    Designing a new hydronic system for my home, cast iron radiators and radiant floor?

    So i'm about to disconnect my old Weil-McLain boiler and hook up a new Navien NCB 240 combo boiler which we've been using for DHW since January. I know, I've already been told elsewhere on here that the NCB 240 is overkill for the size of the house and may likely not work efficiently because...

    Hydronic radiant floor system: Change copper verticals to PEX?

    We have a (soon to be) finished basement. With our radiant floor system, our installer created a 'forest' of copper verticals to the zones, but he put them directly in front of a window (in the attached pix, the lines change to PEX where the pipe-insulation starts)... There's just enough space...
