can I put the the water to fill the boiler in the bypass line? and can I put the the expansion tank on the bypass line? .... the way by boiler sits now I got about 12 inches to the rafters in my base ment .... its very low pipes are blocking me from all angles to even plumb this thing very tough job.......also the flow at the tee for the bypass is going into the boiler or is it going out of the boi;er? I have a flow control valve and I don't know if I should point it going into the boiler or out?

You can put the fill anyplace -- just be sure to use a back flow preventor and a pressure reducing valve with a fast fill option

Again - you can do what ever you want but this is not the best place. See page 32 on the link I provided

Some jobs are tougher than others ;)

Think like the water -- what way is it going?

which way does the circulator push water ? through the boiler and up to the radiators or does it pull from the boiler then up to the radiators?

Do a search for " Pumping Away"

And re read page 26 thru 30
