For applications in closets or zero clear- ances, the installer may use the upper prima- ry connection shown as Item 4 Fig. 28 on page 50 as a primary return connection. The air elimination, expansion tank and
Sizing Primary Piping
See Fig. 8 through 11, pages 21 - 22, for recommended piping arrangements based on various applications. In all diagrams, the space heating system is isolated from the ELITE using primary / secondary pip- ing connections.
Size the piping and system components required in the space heating system using recognized design methods.
System Piping - Zone Circulators
Connect the ELITE to the system piping as shown in Fig. 9 page 21 when zoning with zone circulators. The circulator supplied with the ELITE should not be used for a heat zone. It must supply only the prima- ry loop.
Install a separate circulator for each zone of space heating.
To control the zone circulators refer to Fig. 19, page 35.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate flow rate through the ELITE, maintain a minimum 1 inch diameter on the system piping connect- ing the unit to and from the primary / secondary connection.
System Piping - Zone Valves
Connect the ELITE to the system piping as shown in Fig. 9 page 21 when zoning with zone valves. The primary / secondary pip- ing ensures the priority is given to the pro- duction of domestic hot water.
To control the system zone valve refer to Fig. 18, page 34.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate flow rate through the ELITE, maintain a minimum 1 inch diameter on the system piping connect- ing the unit to and from the primary / secondary connection.
System Piping - Radiant Heating with Mixing Valve
Connect the ELITE to the system piping as shown with a radiant system using a thermo- static mixing valve as shown in Fig. 11 page
22.The primary / secondary piping ensures sufficient return temperature to the ELITE.
