[VAC] Re: Radiant flooring



Too little known about the Americh inline heater/pump to know. I suspect
the pump is a bit big and the heater a bit small for a trailer floor
heating system. Looked like typical pumps were about 1 HP. A 1/4 HP pump
is often enough for a 1200 square foot house circulating pump. Then the
heater needs to be big enough in watts to provide something over 5000
BTU for a Caravel size or 10,000 BTU for a 33'. but 10,000 BTU means too
many amps for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit... So the ratings are important.
