Better make a bank run first.

You got that right! These parts add up fast...

jason install unions on your heat exchanger and tees will boiler drains to bleed air. You can not push air with the pump so more bleed points the better

I have 9 more valves to go yet in that main loop...
I have to make another parts run in the morning.

In the long run you will be happy you put in all the valves. You will want one at the end return line too. So the water doesn't flow backwards while making repairs. One way valve doesn't always work. Does Central Boiler still use the temperature bypass?

Morning everybody.

I have done maintenance on enough boiler systems to greatly appreciate proper valving. I will only need to use them once in my lifetime for it to be worth all the trouble and expense of getting it right.
I was not sure about the valve in the return line... I probably should go ahead and do it, especially since I have am extra valve here.
Central Boiler has an optional mixing valve that you can use in the main line set coming from the boiler. I did not get it because I see no reason for the extra complexity.
The only tempering valve I am using is on my domestic water.

Out west, we call that "character". You're making it work, because it's what the folks want. That's what matters.

@Douglas Ostrander I was planning to get a chimney cap from the CB dealer (I forgot when I bought the other parts). Do you think that is the best one to use, or do you recommend something else?

Good afternoon.
I had my tree guy drop a good sized oak that was dying beside the house.

Good afternoon y'all. My 200t is leaking bar oil. I experienced a broken brake handle last year that coincided with the oil leak. Must have dropped a piece of firewood on it or something. It looks like I pretty much have to disassemble the entire saw to get to the tank itself. Is this correct? I'm currently looking for a shop manual butthought I'd ask herein the meantime.

I love doing tree work, but I love it from the ground. I'd have a vapor lock up there like the legitimate arborists. I'm a chicken with heights, unless it's a solid structure like a building, or grain elevator or the like. Those folks are skilled to say the least.

Just answered my own question. I'd forgotten that the oil tank is part of the crankcase
