finally figured out my boiler plumbing—anyone else find it tricky?

holly_moon · 2025-04-07T18:38:45Z

So last weekend I installed one of those DIY boiler plumbing kits. The instructions made it sound super easy, but honestly, it took me like three tries to get all the fittings tight enough without leaks. Plus, figuring out the right pressure was a bit confusing at first. Now it's finally running smooth and quiet (thank god), but I'm curious if anyone else had a similar experience or if I'm just, you know, plumbing-challenged, lol.

Yeah, compression fittings can be reassuring that way. Just wondering though, did you prep the pipe ends well before pressing? I've seen tiny burrs cause sneaky leaks behind drywall... learned that one the hard way myself.
