I am hearing that there are preassembled manifolds that are available any take in those? I don't mind building one but any the saved would be beneficial at this point.

I have a limited library of books..........one Pumping Away by Dan Holohan Google and you will find.

Lots of other links such as http://www.laars.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=eI ... 1&mid=4041 to get a feel for pri/sec layout and theory of hydronic heating systems.

There are many subject matter experts at this forum to help advise/guide you on best practice of your install.

I'm a rookie like you but chose to take this on. Good luck with your install, my WL110 sat for a while as I gathered up parts and finalized the install layout. I had other coal fired appliances besides the original OB and planned ahead in 79 with the house build for three flues installed to allow for heating appliance flexability...........not great vision on my part............. just piss poor energy polices of our government.

Good luck with your install............Dick
Thanks Dick. I appreciate the pics and the input. I just had an installer here today to offer some advice and give me the basics of what and how to do it. He told me to cut all my existing stuff out and to build a new wall mounted manifold lay out. I have 3 zones, he said to add a 4th as a dump zone that could put heat to the basement as required. I am thinking that I can prebuild the manifold and get that in place in the mean time. Any one have good pics of manifolds that they have built? Thanks

If you're going to run a primary line 24/7, you'll probably find that you don't need a dedicated dump zone. I found that I can hold my idle at the set point by running my primary through the indirect HW with about 20 feet of pipe.

You'll want the dump zone functional, don't take this to mean you shouldn't have one, but you should be able to get away with using one of your three zones because you will almost never have it activated. I hit my dump zone once a day during the first winter when I was trying to hold the boiler temp with the idle adjustments. Since I repiped to a primary/secondary setup, I have not tripped the dump zone once in two and a half years.

[quote="Matthaus"]The manual shows which outlet is for what (the top two are supply and where the pump is mounted is return). You don't have to use the pump where it is mounted, in fact I would recommend moving it to the supply side down stream of the airscoop. The Axeman Manual has a couple diagrams in it. If you post some pictures of your existing set up I can get you pointed in the right direction (and don't worry I'll be nice!

).

Doing a search for boiler hookup diagrams can help as well.

Keep us posted and don't get discouraged, you will learn what you need as long as your persistent.

Which side of the two out lets should be the supply, does it matter. Same question for the domestic hot water.

as you face the front of the boiler the pipe on the left is supply, the right is for pressure relief / auxiliary as it has a slight dip tube going down insidethe boiler. or so that's how I read it. honestly both will work as a supply , but air is easily separated from the top of the boiler at fill time, and pushed out into the supply line to be purged.

Thanks, how about the domestic hot water?

RobR brought up a great point, I assumed you use a bladder expansion tank, if not than you would use the right side for supply. that's what I get for my laziness to go hunt down thebook.
as far as dhw coil I have my cold water in on the left , and domestic hot water out on the right, on two lines horizontal like that I see no difference, on vertical pipes, I always pipe water in on bottom, hot out on top of the dhw coil. hope this helps someone hopefully will chime in with thoughts and practices as well
