heater piping
Zoning with zone valves
1. Connect boiler to system as shown in Figure 12
when zone valve zoning. The primary/secondary
piping shown ensures the boiler loop will have suf-
ficient flow. It also avoids applying the high head
of the boiler circulator to the zone valves.
2. 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.
3. Controlling the system circulator
a. To cycle the system circulator from the PhD
control module, add a circulator relay wired to the
boiler circulator terminals as shown on page 30.

21 Primary/secondary connection
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 -105 – 1” or larger.
-155 or -230 – 1¼” or larger.
-310 – 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.
