Looks beeeeeeeutiful there buddy! That's not rust I see on the boiler below the inspection port is it? But seriously, nice job that thing should keep that mansion of yours toasty warm this winter.

I have some pipes and circulators to wire brush then
Ill get another coat on it soon.

WOW!
Beautiful job.
Sh!t, you've got more pumps than me. You da winner.

You have to slide that ashing lever adjustment back over to where it belongs. I do have to ask, what in the world are you heating with that thing?

Sweeeeet!!!! Nice job!!!!

APOLLO VALVES!!!
Proof the USA went top the moon! ...oh, different thread. Opps. See off topic stuff

Really nice job. I like Apollo valves, used all the time in the gas industry.

Nice black but do you think that little Expansion tank will cover all that water volume in your system plus the BTU's
that you will be pumping out to heat 5000sq ft. What is the PSI at on the boiler when you are making heat your tank looks like a model 30. I think a 60 or even a 90 would be better for your system Just my two cents. I am only heating
1640 Sq ft. on the first zone. And I needed to go from a 30 to a 60 and I really should of went with a 90. With one zone running I will hit 22 to 25 PSI with a model 60 tank. If I would run both zones I think I would pop the PRV the second zone is 1500 sq ft . keep a eye on the PSI gauge to see where it hits when you are heating hard .

Congrats on job well done! I enjoy seeing crazy plumbing. The two cross tees are a thing of beauty! Good fun & good satisfaction when it all works.

There's nothing wrong with 22-25 pounds pressure. There's nothing wrong with 29 or 31. As long as the PRV never spews, or drips, you have the right size tank.

Glad I went with the 90 now. I figured for a few extra bucks better safe than sorry.. Holy Moly is that Tank big... I'll get some pictures of it.
