I just installed new baseboards in my house and I am not sure what to set my furnace psi to. I forgot to look at what it was before I valved it out. Does anyone know what it should be?

your water feeder is preset 12 to 15 pounds but it depends on the height of your top floor every house is different i would set it to 20 lbs and that should do the trick and watch you pressure gauge a few days that it does not pop off good luck

the pressure reducing valve connected to your boiler is most likely pre-set. If all you did was turn the system off and add new baseboards, when you turn it back on again the pressure reducing valve will let the system re-fill to the pre-set pressure. 10 - 12 psi seems low to me most I've installed are 15 - 18.

10 - 12 psi is pretty standard.
