Zoning with circulators
1. Connect boiler to system as shown in Figure 1
when circulator zoning. The boiler circulator can-
not be used for a zone. It must supply only the boiler
loop.
2. Install a separate circulator for each zone.
. Connect water heater (domestic hot water) pip-
ing to indirect storage water heater as shown in
Section A of this manual.
The
PhD Control Module turns off
space heating during water heater heat-
ing. The boiler circulator will turn off,
preventing hot water from circulating to
the system. The flow/check valve shown
on the boiler outlet piping prevents grav-
ity circulation in the boiler loop during
water heater heating.
NOTE 1:
To ensure adequate flow rate through the
boiler, use the following pipe size on all boiler
loop piping (connecting boiler to and from
the primary/secondary connection, item
21):
-80 or
-10 – 1” or larger.
-1 or
-20 – 1¼” or larger.
-10 – 1½” or larger.

Use at least the minimum piping size
above and pipe the boiler using only pri-
mary/secondary piping as shown. Failure
to follow these guidelines could result in
system problems.
