More or less, yep! Thanks for watching! Hope it helped you out!

Good videos. Bought one of these used getting ready to install it today. I work alone also. Work like an Egyptian.

This was used as well. Never know how creative you can be until you are doing a two person job by yourself! Stay tuned, I have parts on order to build the floor heating system and will post more videos as the project progresses. Thanks for the comment!

Awesome channel name! Just bought an H2 and wish I would have lifted it like that!

Thanks! I thought it fit pretty well. Good luck with your H2, I'll probably have some more videos about my H4 soon. The guy I bought my H4 from told me about lifting it that way and if you have the equipment it is definitely the best way to go. Thanks for watching and the comment!

FYI- the strainer is meant to go before the circulator pump to keep debris from entering the pump

True, but in this case I'm not particularly worried about the pump that's on the back of the boiler. Since these are not positive displacement pumps, they don't have the tight clearances that would be susceptible to the type of debris that would most likely be in the boiler tank. The intention of this strainer is to protect the plate heat exchanger and mixing valve in the house, and to just constantly filter the water as it is circulated. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

@@assemblyrequired1 absolutely true regarding the pump; hence why they are classified as circulators. You’re definitely not wrong about protecting the plate exchanger but, placing the strainer upstream of the circulator would increase longevity of that in addition to the exchanger…. Not sure what your trade/line of work is but that’s a nice install you have going. Very clean.

Good evening Sir , Do you have to have your thermostat wire running to the stove or can you put and Aquastat on the supply line in the house

Hello Greg, I don't currently have a thermostat wire connected from inside out to the wood stove. I ran one physically, in case I wanted to use it at some point, but I didn't hook it up to anything. My aquastat is mounted into the back of the stove and it controls the blower motor that forces air into the firebox. So if I set it to 140 degrees F, it will turn the fan on to feed the fire when the water gets down to around 130 degrees and then shut back off when it is around 140-145. I suppose you could put an Aquastat on the supply line to the house, but it wouldn't give you a reading that was very representative of the water in the stove and you may risk the stove over or under heating. Could also work well, I'm just not sure that it would benefit much for the risk. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope this all made sense!

Does that pump run constantly? Or does it kick on with a thermostat wire that connects from the control board? I'm installing one myself. I have a 2 zone radiant for heat with 2 pumps. I'm a bit confused about the pump on the boiler itself. Any help is appreciated..ty

Hi again Josh. The pump on my boiler runs constantly when I have the system on during the winter, it's set up similarly to the folks that have a heat exchanger in their furnace, just constantly circulating the water from the boiler to the house and back out. I did run a thermostat wire with the pex lines under ground so that some day I could control that pump with the control board and only have it run when the floor calls for heat, but for now that's not hooked up and I'm not sure if I will hook it up. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll help wherever I can! Thanks for watching!

Is there any hardware attaching the outer shell to the stove? I need to take mine off to do a repair but I wasn’t sure if it’s riveted all together or what? Same exact model, H4

Hey SumBeach, there isn't much holding it on but there are a few things to take apart. Mainly take the flew pipe and the water inlet cover off the top, they both just slide off but may be siliconed on. Then there is a panel on the front between the fire door and the ash door. It just slides out to the left or right, no fasteners. Lastly you'll need to take a panel off that is below the back door. It is held on with like 4 or 6 screws. On mine they were 5/16 hex head and they are short little sheet metal screws. After that it should just slide straight up. Two guys can do it, it's not very heavy just big and awkward, if you had a third person that would be handy. I had to use equipment because I was by myself. Good luck! Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Hey Leslie, I found this for sale on Craigslist from a guy who needed to convert to a gas furnace due to health issues, not being able to cut wood anymore. They are still on there occasionally. I paid $4500 for the furnace along with his hydraulic wood splitter, which I valued around $1000. So I figure I had $3500 in the Hardy itself. Hope this helps, Thanks for the comment!

on your return line...it looks like the blue pex will be in the way if the shut off valve...if you ever need to shut that valve.

Nope, actually I have closed it a few times and it works just fine. Probably what you can't see in the video is that it turns clockwise to close and not counter-clockwise, in which case you'd be correct. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
