    Backflow prevention bewilders me. Sprinkler systems have them too and there are certified "testers" for them. If outside water pressure is lost, how is your 12 PSI boiler or zero pressure irrigation water going to run backwards? Sounds like government regulated over-kill.

    • @scottapt5291
      @scottapt5291 Před rokem +1

      Can back siphon upon loss of street pressure or broken supply lines if conditions are right sucking contaminated water out into the supply lines.

    • @throttlebottle5906
      @throttlebottle5906 Před rokem +1

      easiest way to think about it, house on top a hill and house on the bottom, is equal to single pipe ran vertical, with closed valve at the top and its full of water, you open that valve and what happens? the water goes down and pulls air in the top, if air cannot go in the top it will pull backwards(under vacuum) whatever it's connected to.
      just low pressure and/or fire department drawing lots of water at a lower elevation can starve anything at a higher elevation, even worse in high rise building. a high rise may have their own booster pumps

    I’m going to agree with you on the near boiler piping should be both tappings but shouldn’t it also have a larger drop header? Shouldn’t that drop header be 4 inch or larger to slow the velocity of the water down and give the steam a chance to dry before entering the mains? And about the vent on the main ends shouldn’t that be about a foot or more away from the end so if there’s any water hammer the vent won’t get destroyed when the water slams into the elbow at the end of the main ?

    Hey I’m sorry to bother you but I have a question. My boiler was running fine until last night when it cut on and started banging in every radiator. I went down stairs and noticed the water was high in the site glass so I poured not even a bucket full of water out, but when I turned the water drain off the boiler started steaming and water was all over the floor. The radiators got very hot. The steam was so thick I couldn’t see where the water was coming from. I have a burnham about 11 years old. The water was coming from the opposite side that the glass site glass is. Any ideas of what might be wrong and can I fix myself. I’m pretty handy.

After seeing how the glass pipe boiler works, just thinking on how this isn't going to work anywhere near that clean on this install. 🤠🦺
