Example – A 120MBH model is to be connected to a heating system as shown in Figure 9.6. A total of 20 ft of straight pipe
will be installed between the boiler and the system loop.
Count all fittings in the boiler loop (shaded in Figure 9.6):
3 90° Elbows
2 Turn in Tee (under boiler- primary-secondary tees not counted)
2 Isolation Valves
1 Y Strainer having a Cv of 30.
Note: Unions, Secondary Connection Tees, and factory supplied fittings are ignored.
Calculate total equivalent length from Table 9.4:
20 ft Straight Pipe + 3 Elbows x 2.8 + 2 Turn in Tee x 5.5 + 2 Valves x 0.6 + 1 Y Strainer x 7.0 = 40.6 Equivalent Feet
Since the total equivalent length is less than 60 ft, flow through boiler loop meets requirements in Table 9.1
3) Indirect Water Heater Loop Piping – If an indirect water heater is used, install it as shown in Figure 9.3a or 9.3b. Refer to
the indirect water heater installation manual for the proper sizing the indirect water heater loop pump and piping.
4) Hydraulic Separators – Hydraulic separators serve the same purpose as the closely spaced tees connecting the boiler and
system loops in Figure 9.2. They also generally provide effective connection points for automatic air elimination devices
and an expansion tank. These separators are available from several sources and may be used in place of the closely spaced
tees shown in Figure 9.2, 9.3a or 9.3b. When a hydraulic separator is used in place of the tees, the 60 ft equivalent length
limitation still applies. Select a hydraulic separator having 1” or larger boiler connections that is designed for the boiler flow
rates shown in Table 9.1.
Table 9.4: Equivalent Lengths for Selected Valves and Fittings
(May Be Used for Copper or Threaded Fittings)
Fitting Pipe Size Equivalent Length (ft)
90° Elbow 1” 2.8
45° Elbow 1” 1.4
90° Turn in Tee 1” 5.5
Run of Tee 1” 1.8
Gate Valve (Open) 1” 0.7
Full Port Ball Valve 1” 0.7
Y-Strainer* 1” 7.0
* Based on Cv of 20. Pressure drop through strainers varies widely. 7 ft equivalent length
may be assumed for strainers having a published Cv greater than 20.
