Install water piping
Zoning with zone valves — alternate
High-flow-rate/high-head-loss DHW
circuits
See Figure 17
This configuration is for applications requiring DHW circuit flow rates
higher than allowable for the boiler, or for high pressure-drop coil-type
DHW tanks, connect the piping as in Figure 17. The DHW water only
flows through the secondary circuit connection piping. 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.
1. Make sure to size the connection piping (Figure 17, item 23) to
handle the total flow it must handle.
2. Install a system circulator (supplied by installer) capable of
delivering the proper flow and head as shown.
3. The flow/check valve shown on the boiler outlet piping prevents
gravity circulation in the boiler loop during DHW heating.
Use at least the MINIMUM pipe size shown in Figure 12,
page 15 on all boiler loop piping (connecting boiler to
and from the primary/secondary connection, item 21).
Primary/secondary piping shown ensures the boiler
loop will have sufficient flow. For other piping methods,
see guidelines on page 15.
Expansion Tank required
1. Provide a system expansion tank following the guidelines on
page 16.
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. See Advanced Manual
to configure Boiler Pump to run during DHW demands.
2. DHW as Zone – not applicable to this application.
3. Priority of DHW/Space Heating:
a. DHW Priority – DHW is priority over space heating. Use Pri-
ority1 for DHW; Priorities 2 and/or 3 for space heating. The
control will not run multiple priorities simultaneously.
b. Space Heating Priority – Space heating is priority over DHW.
Use Priorities 1 and/or 2 for space heating; Priority 3 for DHW.
The control will not run multiple priorities simultaneously.
Controlling the circulators
1. The control can control up to four circulators (boiler circulator
and three others). Refer to Field wiring, beginning on page 47,
for instructions on wiring to circulators.
2. The factory default settings are: all three inputs are set up for
Space Heating (Priority 2). Each input correlates to its respec-
tive circulator output. For DHW applications, assign DHW inputs
to determined Priority (1, 2 or 3). Priority 1 is defaulted to DHW for
DHW Priority applications.

3. For more than 3-zones, use Weil-McLain WMZV zone valve
controller.
Connect zone valve end switches to a Space
Heating Priority input, , (default Priority 2) to use
default settings. Connect system circulator to cor-
responding output.
Use isolation relays if connecting 3-wire zone valve
end switches to the inputs.
13 Zone valves, typical
20 Make-up water supply
21 Primary/secondary connection (tees no more than 8 pipe diameters
apart)
23 DHW secondary connector piping — no more than 8 pipe diameters
apart.
24 Strap system supply and return sensors to lines as shown, at least
6 pipe diameters (but no more than 3 feet) from boiler connection
tees.
25 Systems using high-head pumps may require a bypass pressure
regulator to prevent damage to control valves.
26 External drain/blowdown valve, when used.
33 Strainer, recommended.
