Hi All,
Well, the Garn was delivered a week ago and it's time to start plumbing it into our existing LPG boiler hydronic system. Here's a little of the backstory. We built a new building detached from the house. The new building houses the Garn and in a separate room is an art studio with a full bath. We installed hydronic coils in the slab. Our existing house is heated with a combination of staple up and slab hydronic coils via an LPG water heater. We want to use the Garn to heat everything and provide DHW for everything. I plan to install an on-demand LPG water heater for DHW in the outbuilding as well as to provide some heat backup to prevent the Garn and the outbuilding from freezing should we go away for a week or two in the winter. I trenched in about 110' of 1-1/4" HePex lines for connection between Garn and Polaris (house water heater). I also put in two 3/4" HePex lines for cold and hot water supply from the house to the outbuilding, but I probably won't use the hot water line due to the distance and the time it would take to actually get hot water from the faucet in the outbuilding (sourcing it from the house).
All this being said, I'm very novice at this and I fully expect that the attached plumbing layout has many problems. Please have a look and offer your suggestions before I start to cut pipe and solder.
Thanks!
Chris
