Direct Connect System Piping
ZONE VALVE zoning –
(Shown with optional DHW piping)
See Figure 51 .
1. This confi guration is for zone valve systems that qualify to
use direct connection piping based on the criteria on page 43
only. If system does not qualify, pipe using primary/secondary
piping. See pages 48 - 53 for piping suggestions and guidelines.
2. Systems zoned with zone valves MUST use a by-pass pressure
regulator (Taco 3196 shown).
3. Install a system circulator (supplied by installer) capable of
delivering the proper fl ow and head as shown.
Expansion Tank required
1. Provide a system expansion tank following the guidelines on
page 43 or page 44 .
2. DO NOT use a closed-type tank if connecting to a water
heater that is equipped with an automatic vent.
Domestic Hot Water (DHW) tank, if used
1. DHW direct connection—Pipe from the near-boiler piping
to the DHW tank's boiler connections as shown.
2. DHW as zone—A DHW tank can be connected as a zone if a
DHW tank is NOT already connected to the boiler. To provide
DHW priority operation, use a zone controller. See notices
on page 63 to ensure compliance with the 2007 Energy Act.
3. DHW Priority operation—The ECO control turns off space
heating to the HEAT zones during domestic water heating
calls on the DHW input. The MAX ON TIME setting can
be adjusted to limit how long this occurs. Set the MAX ON
TIME to "0" to disable domestic priority. See page 74 for
setting instructions.
4. If NOT connecting a water heater, do not use the DHW input
or DHW Circulator output on the ECO control.
Overriding the Outdoor Reset function by con-
necting space heating zones to inputs and outputs
intended for DHW applications may violate Sec-
tion 303 of the 2007 Energy Act. See page 127 for
compliance information and exemptions.
Controlling the Zones
1. The ECO control can be used to control space heating only,
domestic water heating only, or both. Refer to fi eld wiring,
beginning on page 60 , for instructions on wiring to zone
valves.
2. The boiler and zone valves can also be operated by a
Weil-McLain WMZV zone controller.

Connect system circulator to HEAT Circ. output.
Use isolation relays if connecting 3-wire zone valve end
switches to the HEAT input.
