This is my first time posting, so take it easy on me. Thought I would share a little of what I have been working on and take much pride in. Not all done yet. Sorry the lighting is horrible.

Wow, that's a lot of pipe. Looks pretty good! Can't quite tell, is all of it soldered or you use press fittings?

You obviously weren't the low bidder, nice work, well laid out

 

[HVAC_Marc]

the diamond plate is a nice touch. CSST wouldnt be my first choice for gas line. why black iron for the manifolds?

 

[carmon]

well done...... looks fantastic....

 

[Hvac216]

That looks awesome. Great job!!

I think that the gas line is yellow coated copper, Gastek. Really neat work. Nice job.

I had to look that up, Gas-Tec pipe. we dont have that here. interesting stuff. how does it compare in price to CSST. the fittings, too? standard flare fittings?

It is just regular roll copper with a plastic yellow sheathing on it. You use regular flare fittings with it.

very nice. Are all those zones the same temp. ?

 

[Pumpaway]

It's all soldered. Keep it old school

 

[Pumpaway]

Some other company did the plumbing and ran the gas. I am changing it to black iron beside the boiler next week. Like to use the black iron manifolds for the rigidity. Never been a big fan of copper manifolds.

 

[Pumpaway]

They are all same temp.

Ok, I'll nitpick:grin2:
Turn the pump heads a 1/4 turn. Grundfos spent a lot of money to design their logo.

On a more serious note, I hate it when the drip tube from a relief valve is soldered copper. You can't check for a slow weep. Turn the relief 180, use a 6" brass nipple and 90, then the drip tube. And the drip doesn't have to be wrench tight.

BTW, it took awhile to find that. If you ever need a job up here in the great white north, let me know.

3/4" relief, glycol system, relief was weeping, but there was nothing coming out the drip. The water was evaporating before it got to the drip tube. 17 hydrotherms, I can inspect the reliefs in less than 5 minutes. All the drips are hand tight.

That's a very good point. I hadn't really thought about like that before. Thanks for the advice... Can I make a compromise with you and sweat in a union on Monday?

 

[rich pickering]

Why monday, something special happening tomorrow?

 

[Pumpaway]

I do love my job but love my family even more. We all know how much this kind of work takes away from personal things. My wife would make me move in to this guys basement.

 

[SoFlaDave]

Incredible piping layout and finished off with diamond plate!? Bravo sir

 

[Adlerberts-Protege]

Air vent above the relief? If so I would install it as high up as possible towards the ceiling.
