Function

The ThermoBloc™ boiler protection recirculation and distribution unit 

is used in hydronic heating systems with non-condensing boilers, 

including solid fuel, biomass, gas LP or oil-fired. It can be installed 

with steel, cast iron and copper tube style boilers, automatically 

controlling the return water temperature, protection against corrosion 

from condensation occurring when a minimum flue gas temperature 

is not otherwise maintained. The ThermoBloc™ unit is compact for 

easy installation, reducing required space and fittings. It combines 

the functionality of a boiler protection valve with a circulation pump 

and a unique flapper check valve allowing for thermosyphon flow 

between the boiler and distribution system during a power outage. The 

ThermoBloc™ includes three temperature gauges and is encased in 

an insulation shell.

These items are designed for use in closed hydronic systems. Do not use 

in plumbing applications. These items do not meet the low-lead plumbing 

standards of U.S. and Canada.
