Cheap Underfloor Heating

Making this Cheap underfloor heating system happen was not too hard and in this video I finish off the plumbing connections. In the previous video I made one good kerosene burner from 3 broken burners. The boiler on this system is a 20 years Grant Multipass but only had 3 years of use. I connect the filling valves and a 2 port valve for the hot water. On this system which is housed in my shed but heating the adjacent building here is a 300 litre hot water storage tank and the boiler is rated at 26Kw boiler ( 90K btu ). Filling and running the system in the next video. Cheers Gerry

Yay, a dog cameo! I don't enjoy plumbing, but that's partly because I'm worried I will do it wrongly - watching more experienced people do it gives me some confidence... I mainly try to use solder fittings, because I'm familiar with hot metal (I do a bunch of electronics/metalworking) and I am more confident I can make them leak-free than screw fittings :-)

Thanks Alaric for taking the time to comment. Solder fittings can take a bit of skill to get right so well done on getting proficient. Thanks for taking the time to comment Much appreciated. Cheers Gerry 👍👍

Couple of observations 1) The blue expansion tank should be located at the point of no pressure change, behind the primary boiler pump. Always 'pump away' from an expansion tank. 2) There's no hydronic separation between the mixing circuit and the boiler primary loop. The mixing circuit should be served by two closely spaced tees, off the boiler primary loop. Never pump "into" a mixing valve. That boiler return pump and the mixing circuit pump are effectively working in series, which can lead to all sorts of problems.

Nice Job Gerry, nothing like digging through what you have to make it work. Do you need to put a backflow preventer on that feed line in Ireland, I'd have to put at least a Watts 9d on there in the old days. Now a days I'm not sure but it's usually a ASSE 1013 on everything.

@GerrysDiy 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Michael I just have a double non return valve and 2 ball valves on the system for filling and the loop gets disconnected once the system is at pressure. Had a look at the asse 1013 and they are not used here on domestic. I fired up the boiler and commissioned the underfloor heating system and it's working like new. Next year I will change this boiler for an Air source heat pump but for now I managed to get this working great for very little money. Great to hear for you Michael Cheers Gerry 👍👍

Hi Gerry,greetings from Cork,love your videos, I have just built a waste oil stove from a propane tank using similar design to yours. It works great except for the smoke from the stack, it is fairly thick. Any advice on how to get it to burn cleaner?

@GerrysDiy 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Sean. It depends on which vrsion you are working on. Generally increasing the air will sort out the smoke. Is your flue big enough diameter and long enough. Are you using a powered fan assisted or normally aspirated version. Will try and help Cheers Gerry

@seanodoherty2679 3 жыл бұрын

@@GerrysDiy thanks for your reply. I am using 6 inch flexi flue and have about 4 metres of it with a couple of 90 bends in it. Its temporary to see how it goes. Planning to have approx 10to 12m long with 6m running close to horizontal. Not using a fan.

@johnsayman2271 3 жыл бұрын

Great Videos Gary, just a quick question to one of your other videos, just curious as to why you dont use a damper valve in your stack pipe? Just a plate u can adjust to stop more heat from going up the chimney stack?

@GerrysDiy 3 жыл бұрын

Hi John. The reason I don't use dampers is that I need the flue gases to travel fast for mixing and if I slow the exhausst (flue) it will have the same effect on the input (burn chamber) To recover more of the heat I could use more flue in the building or run the exhaust through a heat recovery unit. Hope this makes sense Cheers Gerry 👍

Cheap ??? I saw nothing cheap about what u were doing..... Nice , yes ! most ppl don't have cordless compression tools nor numerous fittings and copper or good used boilers laying around so , maybe ur title could be a bit misleading.... Other than that nice job as usual !

@GerrysDiy 3 жыл бұрын

Hi D S. Normally plumbing and wiring of a complete heating and plumbing system would cost well over 8k. The recycled boiler is old and free and collected as scrap, The burner I rebuilt in the last video for free and the 300 litre hot water cylinder / tank is 12 years old and also free. The 2 pumps on the heating system again were old / not working and replaced and I brought them home for free. As I said in the video I had all the pipe and fittings too. All I bought was a thermostat £18 and an underfloor heating manifold for £66 on amazon, Underfloor heating pipe is about 70 euro for 100 metres of 16mm and I used 2 coils on the heating system. The Press tool could be rented and with all the recycled parts this job worked out cheap for me. Appreciate that this is not available for everyone but I am just sharing how I did it. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry. 👍

The prices on underfloor heating are insane. I had leftover pex pipe when I was about to connect my underfloor heating but I saw that my pipe could only take 90c so I went for copper...maybe pex would have been fine?

@GerrysDiy 3 жыл бұрын

@Markus T Hi Markus. Generally pex al pex multilayer is great for underfloor and some are now rated for domestic water as well. The slab / floor is heated to a lower termperature than radiators. Copper is great for piping up domestic hot water and boilers but can be changed over to pex for the runs. In the next video I will show the area I heated and the complete setup. I am renovating the building beside the shed and doing all the work myself. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍👍 Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry
