Zone 1

Baseboard system piping

Apply Figure 11a (zone-valve zoning) or 11b (circulator zoning) to systems using baseboard heaters. The heaters can be any baseboard style, including finned tube or cast iron.

The boiler internal “System circulator” can be used to circulate most zone-valve zoned systems as shown in Figure 11a. For systems requiring higher flow, apply the suggested piping of Figure 12a.

The boiler internal circulators must be left in the boiler. They cannot be removed for use a a zoning circulator. Provide a circulator for each zone when circulator zoning, and pipe the system as in Figure 11b.
