MPdesign Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 2008 building with a lot of buildup inside CPVC pipe. Mostly near the boiler for the circulating hot water system. Is this lime? Have you guys come across this and what did you do? Merry Christmas! Click to Enlarge 25.89 KB Click to Enlarge 36.28 KB
mjr6550 Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 Is it hard? In the photos it looks like it could be fiberglass. No saying it is.
Stephen D. Gazo Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 ...how did you get to cutting that...this isn't an Inspection?
MPdesign Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Posted December 21, 2016 Bld Engineer had already cut this out.
Chad Fabry Posted December 21, 2016 Report Posted December 21, 2016 It looks like an overzealous application of boiler sealer. Were there any obvious past leaks? Vortices are created at the joints and elbows where dissolved air is liberated which then reacts with the sealant.
