piped as shown. It cannot be used as one of the zoning circulators.
Do not apply system-bypass piping if the reduced flow in the system could cause poor heat
distribution. That is, system-bypass piping reduces the flow in the system and increases the
water temperature supplied to the system. This can cause increased heat from radiators at the
beginning of the system and reduced heat from radiators near the end of the system.
