Hi guys....a heating/plumbing sytem question:
As part of a recent porch addition I am doing I need to take out a 5 foot window and replace it with a 5 ft french door...easy enough except below the window is a section of a Forced-hot-water baseboard system.
The basics of what I need to do are pretty simple, remove the section of baseboard and then connect the two open ends to each other to "complete" the loop.
I have done basic pipe-cutting and soldering copper pipes before, so that should be a problem, question is, will I introduce air into the pipes that I then need to "bleed" off someplace, or can I just make the connection and start the system up and the system will adjust itself? i.e. remove any air and/or add water back to the heating system?
Thanks a bunch [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
