This is funny to me.I can understand using more pex in systems these days due to cost of copper,but please, remember, just because pex is more forgiving than copper or iron, it doesn’t mean that you can throw away your tape measure and level, and then call your system a professional installation.The homeowner will hear the bundle of distribution piping expand every day.What’s up with the large Taco pump w/motor in vertical position. INSTALLATIONS LIKE THIS DAMAGE OUR TRADE!
Measuring tapes and levels were used.. Based on observing the types of comments you make to others which shows a pattern of the type of comment you left here.. I have no further explaining to you sir, I could explain in several paragraphs how much you lack knowledge and speak through your hat, but I can tell by the comments you leave most people, you are simply not worth any further attention from myself.
For sure.. The system works well. We had to go back once because one of the drywallers working for another company, was cutting the drywall for the ceiling, and they did not consider all the pipes mounted under the floor, and used a sawzall, which pretty much cut the whole Ipex in one area of the house. Fortunately it did not make a flood. The drywall employees were so sorry about it.. They all offered us money, which we rejected. It is common for other construction workers to lack consideration
Interesting installation. I’ve a question or two if I may.
What is the BTU per square foot load for the house?
A 2 temperature system, radiators in the basement and radiant for the main floor, so what are the design temperatures for the two areas and how are they controlled?
What type/brand/model# control system did you use?
Did you use primary/secondary piping?
Why do you have such a big taco pump and why is it installed with the shaft in a vertical position?
Primary air elimination device?
104 000 BTU. Their’s around 9 zones if I recall correctly. Each controlling a certain amount of loops, and theirs nothing wrong with the pumps being vertical, though their less prone to loosing their prime when horizontal. As long as theirs no air in the system. The system is also equiped with multiple automatic air bleeders to take air out of the system. The Taco pumps are sized accordingly to the water weight they are pushing.Boiler is in basement, and 2 big floors above to be heated. 3800sqft
Their was also the demand to have it placed in this area and with everything mounted on and beside a small wall, it was pretty crambed.. Space was really the issue here, otherwise everything would have been horizontal. This is a Buderus system, I am not sure of the model number. It was purchased from Digel Air. You could inquire with them about various models.
What a rats nest!
LoL, are you talking about the maze of pipes?
Yes Wow…LOL
What a mess…
this install looks like crap! no pride!
