Notes:
1. Size the pump to provide a maximum of 2 GPM
    (7.5 L/min.) through the system at 10 ft (3m) of 
    head plus piping losses. 
    Adjust the flow using a globe valve and verify the 
    flow rate with the maintenance monitors.
2. Pump Control Signal is the preferred method
    to control the recirculation pump.  
    For pumps larger than 85W, a relay connection
    must be used.  If the Pump Control Signal is not
    used, an Aquastat may be used to control the pump.

4. Noritz recommends the use of an Isolation Kit
    with the installation.
    These kits include an integrated shut-off and serv-
    ice valve with unions and a pressure relief valve. 

Notes:

1. Noritz recommends the use of an Isolation Kit with
    the installation.
    These kits include an integrated shut-off and service 
    valve with unions and a pressure relief valve.

2. Size the pump to provide a maximum of 3 GPM
    (11.3 L/min.) with a head pressure equal to the loss 
    through the water heater and Air Handler.
3. Check valve required if it is not included with the pump.

4. Set the flow switch to deactivate the Air Handler when
    the domestic hot water flow reaches 3 GPM (11.3 L/min.).
    Adjust as necessary to prevent cycling.  

5. If the system requires water for space heating at a higher 
    temperature than for other uses, means such as a
    mixing valve shall be provided to temper the water for
    the other uses to help prevent scalding.

7. The water heater cannot be used for space heating 
    applications only.

6. Expansion tank required if a backflow preventer is installed.

Use Honeywell Aquastat 

(Model L6006A or L6006C)

Aquastat Wiring

3. Set the Aquastat to 10˚F below the set output temperature. 
    An aquastat is the minimum pump control requirement
    in order to maintain the full recirculation waranty.

If the Air Handler does not control the water flow automatically, the Scale detection feature will not work.
