(hmm, I could have sworn I posted this already, but it didn't show up)
I have a house built in 1950 that uses a hydronic single pipe diverter tee system. The system is plumbed with iron and steel and has started rusting and leaking. My wife and I have decided to replace it with copper.
Questions:
The original system was hung from the joists in the basement using pipe strapping. It's about 3-4" down. In the new system I'd like to notch the joists and mount the pipe directly (loosely, of course, to allow for expansion) to them, since I'm finishing the basement and would prefer to hide the pipes. Any caveats with this?
Also, we need to add an additional room to the system, but it uses baseboard radiators, not the in-wall type that the rest of the house has. From an article I read
Your suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks,
Steve
