    Tamas Hydronic Systems Applications Applications The Tamas Z-Block is designed to be assembled and installed in multiple configurations and orientations. 1) Boiler Pump As a boiler pump in a multiple zone application. You must use optional part #025-0005 180° End Connection for creating primary/secondary piping arrangement.
  • Page 9 Applications Rotating the Pump Head When using the Z-Block as boiler/injection pump, connect the Z-Block to the manifold in an inverted position. In this position, the pump head (Part #025- 0010) will need to be inverted 180° as well. To do this, remove the 4 pump bolts and turn the pump head to the desired location.
  • Page 10 Tamas Hydronic Systems Applications 2) Injection Pump As an injection pump in a Tamas multiple zone application, to temper the water temperature. You must use optional part #025-0005 180° End Connection for creating primary/secondary piping arrangement. Injection pump controller not supplied.
  • Page 11 Applications 3) Zone Pump Zoning in a hydronic system for individual or multiple zones. The maximum amount of connected Z-block modules is 10 in a single supply to the manifolds. See page 9 for Z-Block inverted pump configuration. DHW Pump...
  • Page 12 Tamas Hydronic Systems Applications 4) Vertical Arrangement The Z-Block can be installed in a vertical configuration. When installing multiple Z-Block modules vertically, the sensor & vent fitting (Part#025-0021) for the air vent must be installed on the topmost end cap.

  • Page 15 (part #025-0014) Purge/Drain Valve Installation in End Cap Depending on the orientation of the Z-Block distribution manifold, the purge valve can be installed in one of the end caps. To do this, drill a 5 mm (02”) hole through the center opening on the end cap, and insert the purge valve. Once the purge valve fitting is fully seated, slide the fitting clip into the groove in the port, securing the fitting to the block.
  • Page 16 Tamas Hydronic Systems Assembly Z-Block Distribution Manifold Assembly The Z-block modules with bayonet connection are manually assembled to produce distribution manifolds with the necessary number of connections. The operation is extremely simple, but it’s important to check that the machined end parts are clean and free of impurities, and to lightly lubricate the O-ring with silicone grease if necessary.
  • Page 17: Assembly

    1. Add silicone grease to the O-ring, a line film of lubrication can assist and avoiding rolling the O-ring 2. Position the Z-block and the connection fitting (Part #025-0003) side by side. 3. Push firmly in the axial direction until it reaches the end stop.
