It was at a place called the Metropolitan Pavilion , 125W 18th st, "The Gallery" on the 4th floor. The windows were huge, floor was 7,300 square feet, check out the website, 20 foot ceilings, we didnt get to check out the rest of the other floors, but it was set up real nice

Very Cool Frank,do you think those are balance cocks on the tops of the rads? I'm guessing an up feed hot water system? I'm thinking there's a square head stem for those balance valves as well, I have some very cool pics of some large rads from a wedding i was at in NYC, 2 pipe steam, i will post them next week

Thanks guys, I found the American Standard listings in the Library section, they seem like a good match as well

I understand how to size the rads with that chart, just curious if anyone knows what brand they are.

Looking for some EDR Ratings for some Thin Tube Radiators I have, the only chart i came across that had sizes/style close to the rads i have is the "Replacement Boiler Sizing Chart" . Cant seem to find them in Dans EDR book, but look like US Rads, if any one has some more info on this style of rad i appreciate it, there are no names or any other info on these rads. See attatched pics. Thanks

Yes Ice, this is the valve that has the sweat union connections and the checks in the hot and cold ports

Trapping a mixing valve?

@ April 9, 2012 9:12 PM in Trapping a mixing valve?

Is it necessary to trap the Honeywell/Sparco AM101-US-1 Mixing Valve even though the literature mentions its not needed? (I'm thinking because  the Hot & Cold ports include check valves This Valve will be installed on a Super Store Indirect, thanks

Congrats

Thanks Ron, love your work on the Drop Headers,  also wondering what other had to say concering this, also Ron do you still use the same e-mail address & phone number? I had emailed you a while back about a job in Wantagh, just want to know for any future work so I  can pass your over you way, thanks

Header Pitch

@ February 23, 2012 7:23 PM in Header Pitch

Does it make a big difference if you face your elbow at the end of the Header straight down to connect into the equalizer? if you pitch the Horizontal portion of the header more than expected you would have to install a elbow/nipple/45 to plumb the equalizer into the top of the Hartford Loop Tee, I have seen it done both ways, just curious if it really makes a difference either way, I'm figuring if you only pitch the horizontal section just a  little  to drain you could use just an elbow to drop down straight into the Hartford Tee and would never see that the equalizer pipe is out of plumb, Would the elbow/45 combo add too much resistance to balance the equalizer? Thanks

Very cool Frank, how were you able to determine your Flow Rates? were you able to install gauges on the old and new pump?
