Thermostat Display

Honeywell VisionPro thermostats such as the TH8110U1003 feature a 10 second backlight display. This means that after you touch anything on the thermostat, it will light up and stay lit for 10 seconds before going back to normal. The bright green light will stay lit long enough for you to do all of your programming, and then turn off, allowing the unit to draw less attention on the wall.

Do I need a fill valve?

Depending on local code, your backflow preventer might require a fill valve (also known as a pressure valve). You will need to check your local codes to be sure. The fill valve is a valve that fills the boiler with water from your source (most likely the public water source). Most fill valves are pre-set to 30 psi, and to make installation easier, you can even get a combination of a backflow preventer and fill valve.

Voltage of a zone valve

The vast majority (about 96%) of zone valves are 24 volts. Installing the wiring of a zone valve can be tricky, so it's recommended to hire a professional for installation. Zone valves are fully closed valves, meaning that no water passes through them and you will not need to install a check valve with them.

Don't pour grease down your sink

Even with a grease trap, it's never a good idea to pour straight grease down your sink. If it's separated out, let it cool and throw it in the garbage. Grease traps are designed to remove the grease that's mixed in with the water that goes down your sink. These units can handle a lot of grease going down and will capture and store that grease making sure that it does not clog your pipes, but it's always best to be smart about it and to try to minimize the amount of grease that goes down your pipes.
