    2 stage pump question

    I have a 16 gmp 2 stage pump on a 10 hp engine. Sometimes it goes into the 2nd stage and splits great. Most of the times it goes into the wedge and stops about a inch deep. It acts like its not going into the second stage. my cylinder is 4 x 2 x 24. Any clues as to why it is stalling and not...

    Cast Iron Radiators with Wood Boiler

    I still have alittle more to insulate on my hot water lines. My crawl space is nice and toasty. Plus I need to insulate my duct work.

    Everything that has hot water in it. You got some money in pump too. I looked at those for my OWB..they aren't cheap.

    You are correct. Pipefitters are steamfitters. Seen a new guy call an old pipefitter a plumber...it wasn't pretty.

    Yeah, take a picture. That would be cool. Seems like everyone is getting away from steam. No one on the top of my head, but I'll keep that in mind.

    They went to the scrap yard. Wish I knew someone would want them. Probably haul only 4 or 5 though. Those things are heavy.

    Cast Iron Radiators with Wood Boiler

    I don't think so either. I have never seen it done with the cast iron radiators. I have takin hundreds out of some dorms at Purdue. They were all steam radiators. We replaced the with fin tube radiators and fan coil units. If it works like darnet said then go with that.

    Cast Iron Radiators with Wood Boiler

    Right, the vertical peices are connected by "tubes." But if you connect just the bottom it will only fill the bottom. The heat must be transfering to the top on you system. If it is workin out for you, thats great. Just saying on heating hot water systems there is a rule of " in the bottom out...

    A plumber works on plumbing kinda things. Ask a pipefitter how to hook it up.

    Cast Iron Radiators with Wood Boiler

    Sorry for being a pain. How would the bleeder bleed the air when the air won't push through if they are both piped in the bottom?? How would the radiator get full of water to have max heat transfer??

    Cast Iron Radiators with Wood Boiler

    The bleed valve won't work properly if the supply and return are both piped in the bottom. The water would just come out one pipe and flow into the other. You need to put the supply in the bottom and return in the top. This would allow the ratiator to fill all the way up with hot water. Then the...

    Usually in steam radiators the steam will be in the top and condensate will be in the bottom.
