Notes

•Place circulators at begin- nings of zones. Placing them at the ends of zones could result in heating idle zones.

•Size manifold piping for total flow of all zone cir- culators.

•Locate flow / check valves as close as possible to water heater boiler side connec- tions — to reduce heat loss between cycles.

Wiring

•Connect water heater ther- mostat wires to boiler’s T-T terminals or heat de- mand connection.
