    Mechanical room photos?

    I am just starting a hydronics job in a fancy modern single family house.  The mechanical space is going to be highly visible so I am looking for photos of nice mechanical room setups so I can get some ideas.  Does anyone know of a good website or link with some good "hall of fame" shots?
    Thanks,

    nice layout!!

    Could you provide some more pictures of your mechanical room.  I wish there was a book that just showed small mechanical room set ups?  I'm in the process of designing a  fin/tube emitter system and most of the books I have don't have useful pictures.
    I'm grateful for this site though.

    I'm a newbie.  I'm referring to the very first posted picture(looks like a two zone system).

    If anyone out there has pictures of any small system set-ups(boiler, 1, 2 zone,
    just baseboard emitters, etc);   I would like to see your system.

    There's a need for a book on hydronic heating with a lot of pictures. 
    I'm a small general contractor/electrician and need study material--besides
    the bible--Siegenthaler(1st ed.).  Sorry, for my rambling.  Oh, I know I should hire a Professional, but my budget is tight.

    Function and form

    We always try to use galvanized backing.  It makes your work look
    great, and its easy to clean.  I would suggest taking time laying the
    mech room out starting in the very beginning of the project.  My mech
    rooms are layout when we are in the underground phase of the job.  My
    first thoughts are where the boiler goes so that we can install the
    floor drain in close proximity.

    Wish it wasn't hiding

    I built this in the shop on two sheets of plywood, drove it 3.5 hours, and installed it at the jobsite.  After spending time and energy to make it look attractive, it got stashed away in a closed up mechanical room.  It's probably the wethead in me, but if it was my house, I'd put it out in the garage where I could see it every day.

    A couple

    Here is a couple. btw: The second pic is my first install using Auqatherm climatherm polypropelene pipe. I really like the product although it is a pain to work with.  (and for those that noctice, yes the S/R boiler primary orientation is backwards and was fixed prior to operation...just a lil brain fart on my part as the stress was on working with the new product tryin to make the boss man happy ;)
