Zoning with zone valves
1. Connect boiler to system as shown in Figure 7 when
zone valve zoning. The primary/secondary piping
shown ensures the boiler loop will have sufficient
flow. It also avoids applying the high head of the
boiler circulator to the zone valves.
2. When using a closed-type expansion tank, connect
the expansion tank and make-up water piping as
shown in Figure 4, page 13.
3. Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect
storage water heater as shown.
The
PhD
Control Module turns off
space heating during DHW heating. The
boiler circulator will turn off, preventing
hot water from circulating to the system.
The flow/check valve shown on the boiler
outlet piping prevents gravity circulation
in the boiler loop during DHW heating.
4. Controlling the system circulator
a. To cycle the system circulator from the Ultra PhD
control module, add a circulator relay wired to the
boiler circulator terminals as shown in the Ultra Control
Supplement.

NOTE 1:
To ensure adequate flow rate through the
boiler, use the following pipe size on all boiler
loop piping (connecting boiler to and from
the primary/secondary connection, item 21):
Ultra-80 or Ultra-105 – 1" or larger.
Ultra-155 or -230 – 1¼" or larger.
Ultra-310 – 1½" or larger.
Use at least the minimum piping size above
and pipe the boiler using only primary/
secondary piping as shown. Failure to
follow these guidelines could result in
system problems.
