Installing the system
Here is the electric hydronic boiler being installed:
10 kW HydroShark III from Menards in Minot North Dakota.
Stripped back the #8/3AWG Teck90 cable and entered it into the boiler using a 3/4" cable connector to a 3/4" coupling. The top end of the coupling has a "21" reducer bushing into which a 1/2" close nipple is screwed which fits the 1/2" hole on the boiler.
See the 1/2" locknut that the conductors have to get through?
Wired
The power from the panel goes up through the kWH meter up top
then swings around down to the boiler.
Rotameter flow meter will monitor that the boiler is getting
the right amount of flow and it will also be used to balance the loops.
Dry fitting the pieces together
Soldering work table. The copper tube is in the mitre box
where it gets cut with a hacksaw.
