A low-loss header offers additional benefits not provided
by a pair of closely spaced tees. Viessmann strongly
recommends and prefers the use of a low-loss header
over closely spaced tees. When used in conjunction with
the Vitodens 100-W boiler, the low-loss header acts as
hydraulic break, decoupling boiler and system circuits
from each other (no sensor required). It is recommended
to use the low-loss header in applications in which the
total system flow rate exceeds the maximum or falls
below the minimum flow rate of the Vitodens 100-W
boiler.
The low-loss header is available in the following sizes.
Select the size based on the maximum system flow rate
of your application.

When installing a low-loss header, system mixed supply
temperature (T3) must be calculated as follows
For maximum boiler flow rates, see the table on page 25
in this manual.
Viessmann strongly recommends the use of a low-loss
header in cases where the system head and flow rates
are unknown.
In addition, the low-loss header helps eliminate air and
debris [D] from the heating system. See illustrations for
Low-loss header design and the principle of operation.
