is not practical to maintain a 12 inch length or less then increase the pipe size of
the bypass by one size.

LARGE WATER CONTENT SYSTEMS------
Such systems as converted gravity systems, old systems with cast iron radiators, and
also newer systems that employ outdoor reset control present a potential problem with
low return water temperatures and condensation. The boiler must be protected from
condensation in such cases by using a by-pass as shown in Figure 21.
