BT INDIRECT SERIES – WATER HEATERS

NOTE

When using zone valves in a 

multi-zone heating system, 

careful consideration must 

be taken to ensure that flow 

rates do not decrease below 

the boiler’s rated minimum 

flow requirement. Bypass 

arrangements (pressure 

activated bypass, three way 

valves, etc.) may be required 

to ensure adequate flow 

under low load conditions.
