I was told this gauge would be a good idea for monitoring the system. It has temperature and pressure. Where does it go in the system? I thought was that it should be right after the boiler but I don't really know. Also how should I mount it in the system with the long probe?

Are the cool looking clear plastic ones ok are is it best to stay away from them and go with a brass one? Thought it would be nice having as sort of a sight glass.

Got my boiler last night navien CH-210-LP-ASME.

Do I need or should I put a wye strainer in?

Welcome to our world in the auto repair business. Its no different. I regularly see vehicles that they diy tried to fix and messed it up worse. You should see what happens on a newer car when you diy decides ot start jumping 12 volts on circuits in there car that shouldn't have that. But I am...

I am in the same boat. It really pisses me off because you wouldn't believe the hvac guys that want advice for working on their own car but when I started trying to get info on doing my own infloor heat I got nothing from them. All you hear is safety this and safety that. All the wholesale...

The building is 45x56x16 with R38 in the ceiling and R19 in the walls. 2 inch high density foam board under the slab and around the perimeter. Two zones. One zone is 420 sq with 2 - 250 ft loops and the second zone is 2100 sq with 12 - 250 ft loops. I have a Navien combi tankless boiler that...

I have spent the last several months researching and now I pulled the trigger and started ordering stuff. I have almost everything and am starting to dry fit before final assembly. Hopefully tomorrow night my boiler will be in. I am looking forward to suggestions especially at this stage before...

Ok I bought a 12 loop manifold and a 2 loop manifold from blueridge. I am really struggling on a heat source though. I have looked at quiteside boilers at Menards. Doesn't seem like there are many options in my price range. Does anyone have any suggestions in the 1500 price range. Sent from...

I am finally ready to work on the heating system for my new shop. It is 2500 sq with 16' ceilings. I have 2inch foam under the floor and 1/2 250' loops of oxygen barrier pex in the floor. I have 2 loops for am back office area and 12 loops for the main part of the shop. I know I put a bit much...

I decided to go with 2x6's on 24 in centers. End nailed and use joice hangers where they would be supporting the overhead doors. Here is the bracket I made so I could put the 2x6's up by myself. I made 6 of them so I could do three at a time to speed up the process. Sent from my SCH-R970...

The shop I work at was insulated the same way and it sweats very badly. Its bad enough that you think it has many leaks certain times of the year. Nothing like giving you the feeling like your working in the rain. Maybe it not a problem in your climate but it sure is around here. I spent good...

I guess I have some ideas to think about now. Here's a question though. How come 2x4's aren't good enough to span 8ft for a ceiling but 5hats what they use for perlins and they are good enough to span 8ft and hold the roof up? Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk 2

The 2x4's are to support the insulation and give something to attach lights and fans to. Would 2x6's be a better choice? Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk 2

Last year I had a 45x56 pole shed built. The trusses are on 8ft centers and designed to hold a ceiling. I am getting ready to insulate the building before winter and am unsure on framing in the ceiling. The plan right now is to use 2x4's on 24in centers then insulate with R38 unfaced and staple...

Yeah it has been getting down in the high 50's at night around here which is a huge sudden change and my bald head doesn't like the cold. It's cheaper. If I had the money I would of poured frost walls and a the floor then put the building up. I think it will be perfect size. the excavator was...

Long overdue for an update. Here is the overhead doors going in. They are really challenge to install without any help. Installing 2 inch R10 foam board around the perimeter of the building. It is 2 ft down from the top of the concrete. Here I am laying the sewer pipe in.

I am thinking about ordering some floor anchor pots to install when I pore the concrete. The plan is to order 12 and use 2 at the front of the bays to attach a winch to for dragging dead vehicles in and use the other 10 for a frame straightening pattern in a flat stall for what ever project I...

Day 8 Builders finished. Well kind of. They screwed up and the steel is 2" below the finished floor height. So is sounds like all of the wainscoting will have to be removed and sent to a factory shear to be trimmed and then reinstalled.

Been super busy the last week and haven't been able to get on to update. I got home after dark on day 4 so I wasn't able to get pictures. Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8
