High-flow-rate/high-head-loss DHW circuits
1. For applications requiring DHW circuit flow rates higher than al-
lowable for the boiler, or for high pressure-drop coil-type DHW
tanks, connect the piping as in Figure 48. The DHW water only
flows through the secondary circuit connector piping. NOTE: Make
sure to size the connector piping (Figure 48, item 23) to handle the
total flow it must handle.
2. Connect boiler to system as shown in
zoning. The primary/secondary piping shown ensures the boiler
loop will have sufficient flow. It also avoids applying the high head
of the boiler circulator to the zone valves.

primary/secondary piping as shown.
low these guidelines could result in system problems.
3. When using a closed-type expansion tank, connect the expansion
tank and make-up water piping as shown in Figure 4, page 11.
4. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage
water heater as shown.
By default, the U-Control Module turns off space heating
during DHW heating (if DHW input is priority 1). The
boiler circulator will turn off, preventing hot water from
circulating to the system (optional timeout setting can
be used to override). The flow/check valve shown on the
boiler outlet piping prevents gravity circulation in the
boiler loop during DHW heating.
5. Controlling the system circulator and boiler circulator
a. You will have to set up the U-Control to operate both the boiler
circulator and the DHW circulator during DHW operation.
The system circulator should be off during DHW heating. Read
the instructions on U-Control operation and setup, beginning
on page 28.
