 NOTICE

System flow should always remain higher than the required flow for the boiler(s) when the boiler(s) is in 
operation to prevent short cycling and high limit issues.

 NOTICE

A system supply sensor (factory 
supplied) MUST BE installed for proper 
boiler operation.

Please note that these illustrations are meant to show system piping concept only, the installer is responsible 
for all equipment and detailing required by local codes.
