  • Page 14: Selection Of Low Loss Header

    5 Installation Selection of the low loss header The low loss header uncouples the boiler from the heating system. A sufficiently large water volume is constantly supplied through the boiler via the low loss header in conjunction with the boiler pump. It acts as a neutral point in the system and has minimal hydraulic resistance, therefore the boiler pump does not affect the circuit pumps and vice-versa.
  • Page 15: D Danger

    It is essential that the boiler and the system have provision for water make up and expansion. For more detailed information on examples of systems and system equipment contact your Vaillant sales support point. Danger! Danger of personal injury and material damage!
