Paulbm, Are they called pipe gaskets? Also does the pipe actual sit on the gasket? Will I have to do every stud? I know all the corners have to be done but will they need extra support? Also, it seems like some noise is coming from the baseboard. Were they suppose to be supported, is that easy to do? I did see part of the installation but I did not know anything about the operation. I did not know any better. I also had to have a contractor come in and remove some of the radiators because the room was way to hot, which the building inspector did suggest when he say the amount of baseboard. And as incredible as it sounds the second contractor wanted to abondon the old pipes and run a new line, somehow. That option is too expensive. I had permits and both contractors have license.

If you cannot spin the motor while on, either the motor or capacitor is bad. Replace the cap. It is less than $10 for a single value cap. Copy the values on the side of the cap. If it has 3 poles, it is a dual cap, if only 2 poles it is a single pole cap. Look for the smaller value somewhere between 3-10 mfd. The voltage is probably 370vac. You can replace one side of the cap and leave the other side. You will need a common wire with 2 female push on spade connectors. or replace the entire dual cap. It will work the same either way.

Probably non-metallic piping which has been firmly clamped against a wooden framing member (big mistake). The piping changes dimensions with changes in temperature--expanding when heated -- no power on Earth can prevent it from doing so. It slips in the clamp and each such movement produces the chatter that you hear. It may gradually lessen over time with wear on the pipe and clamp. Or open the wall now and correct the problem. Classroom study of chemistry and physics is helpful in understanding materials and accommodating to the characteristics of those materials.

Thanks for that link - very helpful read. So, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around all this before I go to far. Let me explain. First, I'm trying just to understand how this works. I understand it in theory and in that article but, in our setup, it looks like all it is really servicing is the water spigot on the side of the house. The water comes in from the left, down into the tank and also to the right through the honey well then just... on to the water spigot that comes off the house. That's it. Now, I CAN simply unthread the pipe a bit further down, and then into another pipe right by it, to hook the house to the well water in an emergency - as it was shown and explained to me by the seller. So, is it to keep and regulate pressure to the house, its there just in case of that? That might all make sense to me except, why does it make the bang sound when I use water out in the yard from a different spigot. I can't seem to understand how it is even involved there. I see the one pipe go into it. That's it. So anyway, on to what the article says, and others after I've googled a bunch. So, banging on the side of it, it does sorta sound more thud ish than hollow, so I do wonder if it is water logged. I understand if it is water logged the pump will turn on immediately any time you use the water. That is the case here. It does have the air valve at the top, and air does come out - not water. So that is good. I read I need it to be pre charged to the psi (minus 2) of what the pressure needs to be for the pump to turn on. Or two less than the .. in (something). I can't find the exact term again as I type this but it was in-something. SO now what I'm trying to figure out. How do I find out what that number is, I don't see anything on the pump. Am I to put the pressure valve on the drain at the bottom and see what it is? If it's over pressured or under pressured wouldn't that give a bad reading? Is that what the honeywell is for? It says 50psi It looks like on the right. I don't know what the "diff" is on the left. So, should I turn off the pump, drain everything, drain the tank, then pressurize (or depressurize) the air to 48 psi? Everything I see says this is a simple task and I feel like I'm almost there, almost understanding it... just not quite there yet. One thing I do know for sure, it's a good sign water didn't come out of the air inlet. ;)
