I would really like a check valve, but I'm thinking I may end up going with an In line ball valve.

Hello! I purchased a set of brass quick connect hose fittings for my garden hose. I was expecting them to have a built in check valve kinda like air hose fittings. But they did not. So I look further at similar products and it doesn't seem like they exist. Does anyone know of any?

Most fuels we have today are junk for small engines. If it wont start/run, or runs like crap you can almost guarantee its a fuel issue.

Manuals library has an app for Android. Very handy.

Do you have an electric hot water heater?

Planning on installing a water softener system in the next couple weeks. I'm on city water. I will also be installing a sediment and carbon filter. When I look at pictures of similar set up's, many have what I can only assume is a carbon filter downstream of the softener. From what I've read...

I FINALLY got the time to install the check valve and expansion tank. It took longer than expected and I think I deviated from my original plan. I didn't write down my plan but the list of fittings I bought a few weeks ago didn't match up to what I used. Anyways the sweat joints are far from...

Spring because I intend to install it on a vertical pipe. It also closes faster, so you get less of the water hammer effect. I intend to do this install fairly soon. I priced everything out. Shouldn't cost more than 150 or so. I'm going to change out a few valves that are crusty and no longer...

I think you are confusing the direction of flow. If you look at the upper left hand corner of my sketch the prv is a little bit cut off. That is the high pressure prv reducing city supplied water pressure. The other prv you are referring to is flowing in the direction of the heating system. I...

Better maybe?

Hopefully those are sufficient. I'm not sure what else it could be. Do you think thermal expansion alone could cause it to bury the needle on a new gauge? Picture of the gauge is just so you can see what it is. It's not the most expensive on the market but read 50 psi when I first installed it...

Updated picture showing circulator pump on the heating loops.

Sorry for the long wait. I double checked my "schematic" it's correct as far as can tell. I omitted ball and gate valves valves for clarity. Locations are not exact except in relation to each other in terms of sequence. Let me know if I should add arrows indicating direction of flow. For anyone...

Let me work on a sketch.

So were moving in the right direction! The prv above the boiler does in fact tie into the domestic cold. The prv by the oil tank is the main feed from the city supply. Pipe comes in through the wall, then the main shut off, then the water meter, then a gate check valve, then a gate valve...

Here it is.

I did not design the set up. The tank came with a recommended design. My brother in law installed the unit and customized it to fit our system. He is a licensed hvac tech. It was like pulling teeth from a honey badger just to get him here. So I dont want to bother him. I'm capable of doing the...

Yes it makes sense. I now understand the heating system expansion tank has nothing to do with DHW. Which is why I brought it back down to the 13 psi. The prv behind the boiler is set to run at 12-15 psi. At least that's what its tag reads. But hard water could be causing it to have issues. I...

Watts LF25AUB Pressure was set at 50 from the factory. I dropped the expansion tank on pressure to 13 psi. It is installed on the hot water lines for the baseboard heat. I have static pressure at 55 psi. Which gives me about 45 psi when flowing. The surge sounds the same as the stop. I'm...

Recently I had hot water holding tank installed to add a reserve to my oil fired boiler. I noticed we were getting water hammer afterwards. I checked the pressure at the sillcock and was reading 100+ psi with a 40 psi drop when a faucet opened. We have city water and it appears to enter the...
