I just pulled the spring off and some close up pics are attached. The bi metal spring says “Hood 36-22”

I am looking for a bi metal damper control spring for my newly installed Lilly stove. Does anyone know where to get one? Pic of stove and spring is attached

I just built a new house and need to install my hardy h2. I am debating over thermopex or logstor pipe. I can get the thermopex for 12 bucks per foot and logstor for 14 per foot. My run is about 90 feet and house is 2300 sf ranch. I am leaning toward either .875” id thermopex or 1.03” id...

The hardy h3s do not include the Dhw coil. But the 2s have them. I have an h2 that’s isn’t setup at my new house and I think I am going to heat my domestic with a sidearm rather than the coil. Main reason is I don’t want to buy 2 line sets. I will just run an uninsulated piece of poly domestic...

Sounds like mine should keep up with my new house. Thanks for the info.

What are you currently heating with your h2s? I have one at my current house and I plan to move it to the new house I'm building and I want to see burn times and specific setups. I live in central Ohio, building a 2300 sf ranch with full basement and 2x6 walls with 9 foot ceilings. R40 in the...

Heard back from the supplier. They are not sure what happened but they are willing to replace the line set at no charge. For a temp fix the furnace loop is now on the old domestic loop.

It came from a large outdoor boiler supply house on the internet that sells tons of stuff for these stoves so hopefully they back their product. I shipped a few different pieces to them yesterday and I will let everyone know what they come up with.

I know when I received it, I installed it a week later who knows prior to my install.

That's a great point I don't run my pump 24/7 so the return line would never see the higher temps.

Can the water quality hurt the pex? My situation has the current pH around 7 and the boiler water is running my domestic water in it since I have the auto fill feature on my boiler. Therefore both loops (domestic and furnace) have the same water source just one is fresher than the other.

The pex is rated at 200 degrees at 80 psi. So I don't think there is a way that the 200 degree temps are affecting it since it is an open system with no pressure. My typical temps are around 170.

Yea it is covered, it is in the ground, in my basement and in my boiler. As for domestic pex vs boiler pex. It was all purchased from an outdoor boiler website that sells this stuff everyday, per my phone call with them yesterday.

This picture shows 3 of the 4 pipes. Red upper left is from pump to furnace. Blue upper right is return from furnace to boiler. Red in my hand is domestic return from boiler to hot water tank. Notice how much better shape the domestic is, which is a much cooler but higher pressure conduit.

I will let you know when I hear back from them. So far they are at least talking to me rather than telling me good luck. I am mailing it out tomorrow to the supply house.

I installed it myself and know that nothing happened to it. I just used a string to feed it through above grade and then threw it all in the ditch. Even pieces in the basement are in horrible shape once i cut into them. I think it's rated at 200 degrees and 80 psi and on my open system.

Last week I noticed that my pex that is the feed to the furnace split and ruptured causing a massive leak so I patched it. This leak happened in the back of my hardy h2 and the pex seemed dry rotted and it actually is crunchy to cut and crimp. I sprung another leak yesterday and had to patch...

My brother just bought a used h25 and it doesn't have the new style baffle in it and they want around 600 bucks to add the parts to the old model. The previous owner never had any issues with it and it has been running strong for roughly 10 years. Can someone weight in on why people are adding...

I sharpen my .325 and 3/8 at 25 degrees and 60 tilt with 0 roll. They work well.

Just clean it out the best you can and cover up the stack. Mine has grates and I beams that keeps the ash tray separate from the firebox. I typically remove everything so I can clean it up. I keep my domestic running through it all summer to pick up the heat from the water jacket, even though I...
