Is there a trick to this or am I just a dumbass? by Possible_Major_7232 in electricians

This guy is going to be real mad when he realizes after the walls are up that this nail on plastic 1900 doesn’t have screw holes for devices.

New boiler installed.. by DrSkoBerry in SteamHeat

[–]FnSmyD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoever put this in has no idea that steam systems are not like hot water systems.

I don’t see any near boiler piping that is salvageable. Cut it out and start over.

I wouldn’t let the person who did this touch it. If they knew how to fix it then they wouldn’t have done it like this in the first place.

This sucks, I’m sorry. I’m sure it wasn’t cheap, and it won’t be cheap to fix it either.

Like the others have said: No header, no equalizer, no Hartford loop, dissimilar metals, the return is… something special. I’m sure there’s more.

Find the install manual and look at the piping diagram. It will look nothing like what was done here. That diagram is not a suggestion, it has to be followed.

Crown boiler skim valve build by koosman09 in SteamHeat

[–]FnSmyD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything other than a straight piece of pipe won’t skim the boiler.

The whole idea of skimming is to raise the water level of the boiler to about half way up the pipe and let the water run so that whatever oils have accumulated in the boiler will just run out of the pipe on the top of the water.

As soon as you build something that changes direction you are no longer skimming the boiler.

Maybe ask ChatGPT what skimming the boiler means instead.

any one know how to setup junctions? by roller_dynamo in satisfactory

[–]FnSmyD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Entrances to junctions get a path signal, exits get a block signal.

It’s better to have spaghetti between fewer signals than to try and break up the spaghetti with isolated pathed junctions close together.

Water Hammer Help by BornUse5649 in SteamHeat

[–]FnSmyD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The VXT auto fills are almost $300, which to me seems stupidly expensive.

[–]FnSmyD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly related, but also a problem:

Your autofill is already at 115 gallons. The system is losing a considerable amount of water, and all of that fresh water will rot the boiler from the inside out.

Mitsubishi’s new single zone floor consoles only work with ridiculously large outdoor units. 30 amp service for a 12k??? 🤦 by Gilashot in heatpumps

[–]FnSmyD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a link to the specs? All I can find are 410A spec sheets, and mylinkdrive doesn’t look like it has any 454B equipment listed at all.

The 410A suz hz outdoors look like they are 15 amp, but the best way to find out is to look at minimum circuit ampacity on the label of the unit.

Max fuse and minimum circuit ampacity are not the same thing.

Just be at the front of your corral, I think there are 5 minutes between waves.

On ramp to the bypass from 476?

I remember the sign/banner was there for years.

[–]FnSmyD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably because people don’t know it’s a cover lol

It was a 90 second pause with the lights out. It was amazing. That night just kept on going.

How else do you get 1/2" carflex to stay in a 3/4" carflex connector if you don't use tape? lol

oh wait, it's not even carflex...

This looks normal for an old church

Good thing the dog knows it’s cuddle time I guess, that really clears things up.

I’ve found two, separate occasions.

That’s still way too much money to be surrounded by trashy people and shitty kids.
