When the two new pumps were installed last summer, they were
plumbed with the same size pipe as the original pumps - 2" inlet
and 1K" outlet. In an effort to gain more flow we decided to re-
plumb at least one of the pumps with a 2~" inlet and a 2~" outlet
since the new pumps have a 2½" inlet and outlet fitting. We hired
Peninsula Plumbing and Heating to do this and check over the system
in general from a plumbers point of view.

The pressures were correct (supply pressure higher

return pressure higher than the supply and the
radiator was backwards. At the police garage,
the system, the pressures returned to normal
readings. They felt there was an obstruction between those two
points and probably at the 90~elbow in the return line. When the
elbow was removed the obstruction was there. The obstruction was
removed, the elbow replaced and the system put back in service,
which then worked properly with heat to all areas.
The bill from Peninsula Plumbing is 81488.00 plus the existing
deficit of $160.10 = $1648.10. I am requesting an appropriation
of $2000.00 since the Honeywell figure is a rough estimate and
could run over.
