Installing My NEW 6048 OWB !!!

CZAR800 you sure have a beautiful place. Sure reminds me of right here in good ole South central Kentucky. Beautiful rollin hills and yes plenty of TREES.
Great ain't it.

Keep this in mind:

Think about where you rough in your lines under the boiler in relation to the supply / return bungs. That 1" PEX doesn't bend too easy unless you use a heat gun!....Crossing the lines is a major PIA as I found out!

Stamped Concrete Slab

I poured my concrete slab today and thought I would make it look a little nicer, so I made myself a stamp out of a piece of old grating. It seemed to work real well - have a look.

very creative, looks like a nice lil pad you got there!!

 

[Chuck Diesel]

Good idea for when the weather goes south

 

[mtfallsmikey]

Awesome!...and a beautiful piece of property too!

Real nice job I didn't get so fancy with mine. Just a flat slab with a notch for the pipes like the diagram showed. I made my work pad about 3" lower than the furnace just to bring the firebox up a little for ergonomics.

Looks like your pad is backwards. Just got mine today and the pipe goes in the back.Which way did you plan on placing it??

P.S. Looks great!!

Is yours a CB? All Central Boilers I have seen have the water hookup there.

I would have let the pex go another three feet and cut off the insulation? Joint free. At least that's what I did.

that is how we layed the pipe made it go high and cut off excess so no joints at the outside part . now just have to hook it all up to the pumps and boiler .

 

[jmcguiretree]

yes mine is a CB E-classic..just delivered yesterday.it hooks up in the back of unit

 

[cat320]

I saw one of those new ones they hook up in the back i don't think there is much room for leway with the pipe it's pretty tight i think if i remember right.

I got my 6048 today and it should be up and running tomorrow with full pictures
If it weren't so last I would post them now.......I guess you'll have to wait to see her!!!

Splitting??? Ya OK !!!

i see u got alot of that wood split. i did too at first. you'll get lazy like me and figure out that you'll only split what u can't lift or won't fit in the door.

:agree2: After starting mine and running it for a couple days I realized I'll cut my rounds shorter for handling only. I won't split anything that will fit in the door.
