System Assembly, September, October 2014



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. 

Almost all up on the wall
