@ April 11, 2013 8:27 AM in Lp gas pressure "conversion"
I have a customer who has an existing direct vent water heater that is LP gas fired. It is on its last legs and leaking. He would like to replace it w/ a tankless fired unit. Problem is that the copper gas line runs over a finished space and is undersized. Is it possible to convert that to a 2# set up and then put a step down regulator in? What has to happen at the tank? New regulator or just an adjustment?If you have...

@ April 3, 2013 1:59 PM in How often should the boiler limit switch be reached?
thoughts on deep set backs. 5 degrees at most.Sounds like the new t-stat is a power robbing/ stealing t-stat. I would use a t-stat that is battery powered... 5 bucks the problem will be gone.

@ April 3, 2013 12:04 AM in Embassy ONEX
is on the low side to have a boiler set at. I would tend to go w/ 18-20psi. They recc 20. I presume the FILL light goes on at around 10psi.not a great choice....

as this point I would like to do a drainback set up but I can't swing a drainback tank. I am going to run the system at street pressure to a standard water htr and a bronze circ that I have. If the set up works well and business gets better I may do the drainback yr round.
