9 QuestionsQ: Can you heat up the hose with something like a hair dryer to make it easier to install on the barb fittings?

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffYou can apply a non-toxic lubricant (like dish detergent) to the brass barb connections and press the flexible tubing onto the fittings all the way to the tapered shoulder to make installation easier.
Q: (1) will this work for a one pipe system as shown in owner's manual for twin-flo III heater? (2) air vents show in owner's manual. How do you vent with this kit? (3) the air vents that I purchased are 1/2" too high. Is there a special air vent for these?

John, 1) If by "one pipe system", you are saying a single line feeding all of the heating devices within your home, I would not recommend it. The Twin flow heater uses 1/2" tubing, most heating loops are 3/4", by using the twin flow _in series_ with the other devices will cause a restriction within the system and loss of heating capacity. Better to create a loop (or secondary loop) for the Twin Flow heater that is in parallel with the main loop and use mono-tee's to draw the warm water through the Twin Flow loop. 2) If by "venting" you mean "bleeding the line". Then, basically any where within the loop will accomplish this task, try to locate the bleeder valve as high within the loop as possible. 3) Due to close constraints that the Twin Flow heater is designed to work in, bleeding at the unit is not very practical because access is so limited. The hose kit will allow the unit to be moved "out from under" If you feel you must bleed the loop at the unit, then you will need to find a 90 degree elbow with a bleeder valve built into it. They are not easy to find.
Q: can be combine wit my baseboard system 3\4
Asked by oliver 13 years ago

Very easily. In fact it should help with your heating costs.
I can think of no reason it would not work just fine.
Yes it can.Depending how confident you are with figuring out plumbing supplies you can go to the local hardware store and get all the parts you need. Or you can spend the outrageously marked up price for the easy connect kit.I would also advise putting it on it's own loop using monoflow tees. this way there isn't too much of a pressure drop caused by the heater. cheers.
yes you can just loop it into system it works great
Yes. It's very easy if you are handy.

As I recall ... it was a reinforced rubber, like a radiator hose.
The hoses are rubber hosesthat can be cut to fit. Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
Q: Is the purpose of this hose to allow flexiblity and to be able to pull the heater out from is location should it break where as it would be in a fixed location if copper piping was used??

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThis hose is designed to make installation easier in tight spaces where it may be difficult to install rigid copper.
Hi, I had an installed kick space heater that was copper connected and it failed. Since the water input and output of this heater did not match the new one, the flexible hose kit let me simply install the new heater without major plumbing issues. This setup also allows the heater to be positioned exactly where you want it and yes, there is some mobility in the new installed unit that was not there in the old one. Roland DuBois
Hi, If you have access ... copper would be fine. It was easier to install with the hoses, though. I also think that it isolates a little of the vibration and makes it easier to do the recommended periodic cleaning of the fan.
Yes, it is needed for service, i.e. failures, maintenance of coil cleaning and motor repairs. Unless a service access is made above inside the cabinetry, large enough for opening 2 unions after shutoff valves, which gets more involved. But if it's a home owner who is willing to go to greater lengths... The temperature of the heat source may be igniting concerns, domestic water ( if used as a source) should top out 120-130 degrees, but if it is a boiler in a northern climate where extended run times will cause it see 170-180 degrees may cause flexible hose specs to be reviewed. Good luck.
The hose kit is so you can pull the unit out for repair, it's more likely you will want to pull the unit out for cleaning. Being on the floor, it will pull dust and debris thru the unit. The hose kit does make it easier to install as well.
I did not use the hose,but yes I did buy it, I hooked direct with the pex pipe using those new reuseable connectors. As long as you can get your hand to the connectors you can release to get your unit out. The unit works great.
Yes, the hose allows for a flexible connection. If installed under a base cabinet it would be difficult to solder or unsolder a solid copper connection. If the heater fails, the hose clamps allow for easy disconnection and reinstallation. If your situation permits, you might want to consider shut off valves on both sides of the supply to assist in replacement of the heater.
I used the hose because the heater was mounted in the floor and it was a little tight for soldering. .
To put it simply... yes.This kit is useful if you are retrofitting underneath an existing cabinetry (as you will have difficulty soldering it in place)I used it however to place the toe kick heater in it's place and built the cabinetry over it; I could have soldered mine in place no problem (but as you said, then there will be no way to access it if you do want to latter pull it out).I did however find the price of this kit extremely high. You might be better off buying a car rad house and the reducer connections from a hardware store.
Q: Are the hose and connectors strong enough for the presure of a hot water boiler such as a Crown model. I want use this kit with the k84 kickspace heater which will replace a cast iron radiator in a kitchen remodel.
