Where can I get the 1/4" foil faced fiberglass insulation to wrap my pex tubing? Is foil faced bubble wrap insulation a viable substitute?
My plan is to put foam pipe insulation on both pex lines. Then wrap them both together with the enough 1/4" foil/glass insulation to fill 6" corrugated pipe.
The pex run will only be 75'.
What size circulating pump should I use? I can get a Grundfos UPS15-58FC where i live for a decent price.
Right now I will only be supplying a 16x18 heat exchanger and a sidearm on my water heater.
I also would like to hear ideas on how to wire up the fan on my janitrol furnace so it will work with the owb and switch back to gas if the fire goes out. A diagram would be sweet if anyone has one.
The boiler has a manual draft now. I have a Ranco ETC, blower, and solenoid to make it forced combustion. The plan is to hook the solenoid to a butterfly similar to one on a carburetor. It will open and the blower will start when the ETC calls for heat.
This is a somewhat low budget install using a free indoor wood boiler that is going to be outdoors.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Mike
