Hello to all,
I am installing a forced how water system in my addition. A contractor will do the boiler. I am doing the piping and baseboard. My question is HOW!! I know that I have 2 6' sections in each room and a general knowledge of how it goes together. But does anyone have any info on details. Do I use a angle valve on one side AND a bleeder on the other? Should the valves be sweet or thread? I am using a 2 pipe system with Finn baseboards. Any instructions / photos / help, will be most appreciated.
thank you

You'll be doing a bunch of pipe fitting and soldering. No tips there, that's a hands on deal. Ask the contractor who is installing the boiler as to the best way and size to pipe.
