Selection of the low loss header

The low loss header uncouples the boiler from the 
heating system. A sufficiently large water volume is 
constantly supplied through the boiler via the low loss 
header in conjunction with the boiler pump. It acts as a 
neutral point in the system and has minimal hydraulic 
resistance, therefore the boiler pump does not affect 
the circuit pumps and vice-versa.

A suitable WH type low loss header can be chosen from 
Table 5.1.

No electrical accessories are required in order to use a 
low loss header. Simple systems can be connected 
directly inside the electronic box.
