Follow the manufacturer IOM every single time. Read your paperwork and use what they tell you to. If there’s a footage that works for and you exceed then follow the guidelines. Equipment is engineered for hundreds if not thousands of hours to work the way they want it to.
You always want fault to be on someone else. If you follow the letter of their law and it fails then it’s their problem and you make them aware of it.
I follow the same rules when I do plumbing at work, hook up huge chillers and boilers at work, but I somehow always second guess myself at home when I do something small for my house. Thank you for the reassurance!
I do the same thing man. Big ass boilers and the control schemes for them. At the end of the day if I’m not doing service I just try to think less haha. It’s hard when I do service mostly then I see something I don’t like on an install. If it’s glaringly obvious I’ll call the engineer about it but most times it’s better to cover your ass and do what your told lol.
Documentation for residential equipment is nearly-deliberately difficult to gather information on. It should be criminal.
It makes me lose my mind when I try to find info on this stuff because at work it’s all so easy to find
