Pumps listed in italicized type are provided by the factory as the boiler circulation pump on high altitude
models.

NOTICE

The temperature rise provided by a pump/model combination will decrease by 3% per 1000 feet of elevation.

NOTICE

Hydronic piping

(continued)

These pumps are only slightly above 20° rise flows, but are the closest available. To reach a 20° rise or less, an
upsized pump will be required.
