I cant work out from the pictures what going on with the gauges? are they pressure? what else is tee'd into it?
Dont forget to paint your black fittings.

They are monometers. And they are tee'd in to a dp switch to prove pump flow

Ah, just spotted it on the wall, thought it was going into another pipe.
Not sure if you fitted the pumps, looks like the threaded bar is set into the concrete base? so they wouldnt be removable?

No. If a pump fails you would replace the head not the body IMO

 

[SimonJohns]

Yes they are set in concrete

 

[Scott_D]

That would be the sensible way:wink_smile:
I have never changed a head, its always a new pump which doesnt fit. Ends up needing positional flanges or stool pieces welded up.

A stool piece? Lol. Spell check is funny

I've not had that problem yet. I only fit Grundfos and they tend to look after the old pump bodies very well

I have replaced many heads and only 1 complete pump. But that wasn't a twin head

 

[Scott_D]

HA

If you were pricing and buying materials im sure you would just replace the head.

The joys of confined spaces.

Come on then Scott_d info please what boilers are they etc?

 

[hammers4spanner]

I was thinking same chris , whats the point of putting pics up without a synopsis of work detail

 

[Scott_D]

Added some more pics
They are 3x Strebel 500 boilers, 2x CT pump sets, 1xVT pump set with 3 port valve and Enwamatic.
You can see pictures of the header in the background on the last page:smug:

 

[hammers4spanner]

Are you self employed ?

 

[Scott_D]

Yeah, why do you ask?

 

[hammers4spanner]

i was saying to someone about getting my commercial gas before years out and they said not worth it as only the bigger companies get the work.
been subbing a bit out of late and seems to me that its a better market than the domestic crap

 

[SimonJohns]

Yeah, why do you ask?

Where's that boiler room?

 

[Scott_D]

Its near Weston super mare
I am self employed but work for my Dads company, who works for bigger companyies.
As a one man outfit I think you would be unlikley to get big boiler houses but I may be wrong.
