The water side resistance curve of the boiler is shown in the diagram in Figure 3-8.
The pump is not an integral part of the boiler. It is recommended to choose a pump with the rate
and delivery head at about 2/3 of its characteristic heating curve.

NOTE
The use of a mixing header fitted between the boiler circuit and the
system circuit is always advisable. It becomes INDISPENSABLE if
the system requires flow rates superior to the maximum permitted
boiler flow rates, which is to say lower than 27° F (15 K).
3.14 Condensate Piping and Drain
To avoid condensate collecting inside the combustion exhaust system, the condenate piping
must slope toward the drain at least 3/8 in./ft (30 mm/m).
The liquid column, inside the condensate siphon, (see Condensate Siphon Filling Plug in Figure
3-9) needs to be filled with water after installation. The minimum height of the water in the
column, when all the fans are in operation, must be at least 25 mm (1 in.).
