[Farmall] OT-hydronic radiant floor heat

[Mike Schmudlach]

Todd,
I would recommend having the supply house map out and size your system.
Also any good HVAC or plumbing contractor who deals with hydronic heating
will design your system for a small fee.
Do not just guess at it..........the info from the net will only get you
half the info you need.
If you run into a bind I can have one of my subcontractors do it for you.
My next door neighbor is a plumber that installs a lot of them.
Talked to Hank today......sounds like "you guyses" (Wisconsin speak) F
series book is coming along well.

Mike
