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.
3. Use an Aquastat if the water heater is not controlling

     the pump. 

    Set the Aquastat to 10°F (5°C) below the set 

    output temperature. 
4. 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. 

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.
8. Only POTABLE water may be plumbed through 

    the water heater.

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