Notes:
1
Pump
sizing based on Primary/Secondary plumbing configuration with specified minimum pipe diameter with up to 50’
equivalent length.
2
Upsize piping to 1-1/4 in. if using Armstrong Astro 30 or B&G NRF-22; or upsize circulator to Astro 50 or NRF-25.
Figures 10-3 through 10-8 are meant to illustrate various plumbing concepts, taking into account
the boiler’s control logic –
they are not meant to serve as a comprehensive guide. It is the
installer’s responsibility to use “best practices” when designing and laying out the plumbing –
including installing drain and isolation valves where required.
