3. Install a system circulator or zone circulators as shown in the
piping diagrams in the Primary/Secondary System Piping section
in this manual. These circulators must be supplied by the installer.
1. Size circulators based on the flow rate required to achieve the
temperature drop required. You can closely estimate temperature

Expansion Tank Location

Figure 47, page 38
expansion tank. It is highly recommended that you locate
the air separator and expansion tank as shown in the sug-
gested piping drawings on pages 37 - 39.
Ensure that the expansion tank size will handle boiler and
sion. These tanks may be installed by connecting to tees in
the system piping.
Undersized expansion tanks cause system
makeup water to be added through the fill
to excessive make-up water addition. Always
locate the cold-water fill connection at the
expansion tank. Never locate this elsewhere.

Diaphragm- or bladder-type tank:
