I'm looking at installing this after my wood boiler in a closed loop radiant application to be used in the case of me being gone for days and the wood boiler not firing. Will this work with the lower boiler loop pressure of ~15psi? Also, when i am...

The Rinnai is not intended for use as a means to heat water for radiant heat. It needs a minimum water pressure of 40 psi to work. It also needs a minimum water flow of about 0.4 gallons per minute to turn on. For safety reasons, the Rinnai only heats the water to 120 degrees unless you change some internal switch settings, then the max is 140.

Yes, the low pressure regulator is what makes it work right. I tried it with another low pressure regulator and it would not light up. Changed to the one that came in the box and lights right up. It works very well for my BBQ trailer.

We were ab to use this regulator on a single BG10 burner and then use it on a fuel rail with two BG14's and one BG10. The regulator performed great holding pressure stable in any setting we had it adjusted to. We never actually had a pressure gauge on either set-up but the regulator as able to be adjusted low enough to allow the BG10 to have a very small flame.

Mine came with that pressure regulator but I had a very hard time regulating pressure to 10-11 pounds on my electric stove. I ended up purchasing a pressure regulator that has weight measures on it. Works fine now.

The valve is battery operated, so I see no reason why it should not work with your lower pressure. You may have to set it for a longer water duration time to get the amount of water you want.

Normally, you would use a twin tank water softener to supply a boiler - this so that you will always have an uninterrupted 24/7 supply of soft water - required when supplying make-up to a boiler. A more suitable one for this application 15 HP application would be found by searching Amazon using ASIN B000GEBZC2. We are assuming that you feed pipe size is ¾". Please let us know if you have any questions, CAI Technologies

I don't know anything about boilers but I bought this to use a 220v Chinese headphone amp and it works fine. I don't know enough about electricity, though, to know if the demands of your unit are so different that it might not work. But for my LIttle Dot MK III headphone amp, it does the job.

Using the sprayer while the pot filler valve is open will result in a dramitic decrease in pressure. My advise when using the sprayer is to make sure the valve on the pot filler is closed. I've installed this product in 3 applications and concluded a consistent issue with the pressure from the sprayer. Overall I found this product to far superior to other similar products.

Does it work if you use the extra steam trigger? Also, the steam will not flow until the handle is out of the locked position.

It probably will work on the lower pressure I have a 3000 pounds per square inch one it works really great I would guess 2700 as low as you want to go

Works great. Let me know which engine your running and I will tell you which pressure regulator to install ahead of it. You need a large micron pre filter ( 30 micron is great) and a 10 to 20 micron between pump and rail. Keep the inlet side 3/8 to keep from restricting pump. That's the mistake people make and burn the pump up from starvation. Good luck with your project .

Nope, I have no problem with the unit. I put it in low pressure and it works fine.

I used this to make an evaporation unit to boil maple syrup, other reviews say they've used it for home brewing... Not much different. I hooked directly to an outside gas line and use a ball valve to regulate the flow. This thing means business! It puts out the heat. I have to keep it about 2/3rds open or it will boil out of control.

From my experience with this shoddy product I would recommend you look else where for a control. Returned the first one & found it's replacement even worse. As for your application, recommend an on/off type thermostat such as a base board plugin thermostat that could be slightly modified to suit your need. The heating element may not get hot enough to cause smoke using a motor control, where as an on/off thermostat would allow the element to get hot enough to create smoke during the on cycle. Hope the info helps.

I don't think that will effect its operation, except that the heat may tend to stay up towards the upper side of the piping and decrease the efficiency of the heat exchanger. If you burn extremely dry wood you shouldn't have any problem with creosote, so don't burn new or wet wood to avoid this. If at all possible, I'd try to install it in a vertical section.

Yes, you have to use a burner that is within the heavy part of the pan bottom, so it must be smaller or it will melt the temperature gauge that pops up near the handle. When the plastic thing pops up, telling you that you are at 15 PSI, you set the timer on your stove for the minutes you want, then turn down the heat from #8 to #2 or lower on your stove keeping it to the 15 PSI. I now use the Kuhn Rikon 5 qt. size because the pressure gauge is in the middle of the top instead of on the side and is easier to take apart and clean.

I put 3/4 full of water and it takes no more than 1 minute to steam up. The problem with my machine is that it didn't hold the steam for too long. While plug in the socket. I will purchase another one. Because while the steam was working it cleaned my shower and bathroom perfectly. So don't anyone feel that this product won't work, it's just that I may have had a defective machine
