One helluva tight install. No stackable option?

[Friendoffreedom]

I qualified on the Buderus GB125, a boiler/burner package with a Buderus-made honest-to-goodness blue flame burner. Even the non-condensing model gets 90 pct. efficiency. I figure, if you're going to go to the trouble of stocking Riello parts, might as well stock Buderus parts instead and get better efficiency.

What are the setting for a temp.control. They are set for, high 180, low 120 , and the differential at 15. Is this right??

[TheSuperwes]

Great system! super clean install. And nothing beats a Riello burner.! Cheers

[timboot18]

wait,,,wait..who do i call????cant understand the ten comments and stickers...lmao!!

[TheFreaky85]

great boiler, prob the best in newengland right now, esp with the logimatic and the reilo. they make a condesating boiler that gets over 91 percent. but your chiminey still can condencate at 89 percent, and what will happen is your burner will have aratic flame, the chiminey will be cold and the hot temp of the boiler flue gass will mess up the draft. its happened to me on older houses, if it happens to you, pull out baffels and that will alow hotter flue temps. thats if your chiminey isnt lined

Also, I highly recommend HeatFlo brand stainless steel indirect water heaters. Just pull the aquastat well and boiler drain if you buy one. Put a generous amount of Teflon tape and use LeakLock, TrueBlue, or BlueBlocker pipe dope on the threads before reinstalling because they used a cheap pipe dope for a while. I have a 50 gal high output one that heats water super fast.

In Massachusetts, the oil line would need to be replaced with a pre-sleeved oil line all the way back to the tank. I prefer envirotube brand. I would also recommend putting a Roth or Schutz tank in the house because if they have an underground steel oil tank, it's not a question as to if it will leak, but when. Oil contamination is very expensive to clean up. Also, what brand is the air separator? I've never seen one like that.

[Tomjr222]

@TomTheTechnician

The air separator is a B&G Enhancer, works very well. The vent is 3/4 but can be replaced with a bushing and standard 1/8 air vent.

...secured. I would have also put an isolation valve after the water feeder. Having the temp of the water heater above 120 is a scald risk. I would have used solid concrete blocks instead of hollow ones on their side under the boiler. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

[TomTheTechnician]

Great boiler and burner. Servicing it is going to suck though. I would have used the indirect water heater that goes under the boiler to save floor space so you could get around the boiler if you needed to replace anything in the back. Also, Buderus recommends using the oil filter you have at the oil tank with a spin-on filter with bracket at the burner with a flex line so you can open the door without disconnecting the oil line. If this was in MA, the oil line would need to be sleeved and

@TomTheTechnician

I prefer side by side since i have the room, but a stackable for a closet is the wat to go.

It is not that difficult to work behind it. It looks that way on the video. You are the first one in 2 years to point out it is missing the back flow preventor, thanks i will put that on.

The oil tank is inground, there is only about 4 feet of line then goes thru the foundation

Would Ma. still require a sleeved line?

Thanks for you comments.

@Tomjr222 mass cmr says all oil lines must be incased in a non metalic sleev. some towns make you do it on over head lines too. i am an oil burner tech.

[sinsagoodmansbrother]

Hello Tom,

Are you still happy with this Boiler? Ca nyou give me an some Idea of how much it costs?

Thanks! Tom Feely

I install boilers for a living and this is a Great installation, The oil line DOES NOT have to be covered, This boiler will tell you outside temp, Water temp, EVERYTHING! But the Riello burner has been around for 35 years here in The U.S.A. But in Europe they have been around for 50 Years. BUDERUS "BUTTER BUNS" boiler we call it Because your Buns will not be butter after you install it. THIS IS VERY VERY HEAVY! Damn good boiler! Are you in Canada? Great Video!!!

[TheFreaky85]

@Taino871 in massachusets the cmr says all oil lines have to be incased in a non metalic sleeve. i also am a oil burner tech, some towns even make you incase over head lines. i agree with the lines in the cement, but the over head lines is pushin it. i did an oil tank today and the fire captin had to come to check if we put plugs in the old tank before removel

[Scrat335]

Nice system, just wondering what the cost was. Great video too. Smart move in the long run for you too. Oil isn't going to get any cheaper. I wonder if you could have done it cheaper with an outdoor tstat wired into the burner or something. Might not be as convenient or accurate but why do you need a computer to run the damn thing for you? Anyway it's great work and if you're happy that's what counts.

[kirk0respite]

Tom, very nice job on explaining the Buderus burner. Must have set you back a pretty penny.

[itscool1968]

that oil line is a bit close to the wall and should be coverd in blue plastic cover to be up to code:)

[manjunk64]

Tom, very important. I didn't see any fresh air supply to your boiler room. It must be outside air and not air from your surrounding rooms. It's a very small enclosed boiler room and I can't say enough how important a fresh air supply is.

Outstanding system. I've worked on a few of these and I'm sure you're going to very happy at your savings.

[balzout666]

you should not be telling people how to tinker with that control. Scalding happens at temp above 120. Other then that the guys that put it in did an awsome job.

[EvZXCoRe]

the way i was taught was that temperature inside a tank should be set at 140 degrees so to kill bacteria, and a tempering valve should be installed so that you can cool that down to 120 degrees at the nearest tap, to prevent scalding thats the code standerds where i live anyways, that may vary depening on where you live but ya no one should mess with that besides a qualified service technician

[David5495]

Nice system.

[piogru]

This is a one of simple BUDERUS boilers. This aplications dont have a mixing valve with servomotor, burner have a one way oil (two way is better) Boiler room is to small (no comfort of servie working)... but your choise (Buderus+Riello)is good.

Sorry, my english is no perfect.
