Series 24 Minimum Piping Recommendations – Water Boiler
Recommendation 1
is used
when the load is constant and
not varied due to mixing or
multiple zones. Use when:
■
system return water is not
less than 135° F for
prolonged periods of time
■
system flow does not impact
flow through the boiler

Recommendation 2
is a primary-secondary piping method
that maintains a constant flow through the boiler by using a
secondary boiler circulator. This arrangement isolates the
boiler from flow variations but does not safe-guard against
cold return water temperatures. Use when:
■
system return water is not less than 135° F
for prolonged periods of time
■
system flow does not impact flow through the
boiler (i.e. zoning, mixing)

Notes:
1. All piping is schedule 40.
2. Pipe sizes listed are based on a 20° F or 40°F differential (temperature drop).
Select one to match application.
3. When specified return piping is less than 3”, install 3” x 12” nipple and appropriate
size bell reducer directly into boiler return tapping as shown.
4. Drain valve—ball valve preferable, gate valve acceptable alternative
(supplied by others).—Minimum valve size per ASME code is 3/4 ” NPT.
