water heater piping
Zoning with zone valves
1. Connect boiler to system as shown in Figure 2
when zone valve zoning. The primary/secondary
piping shown ensures the boiler loop will have
sufficient flow. It also avoids applying the high head
of the boiler circulator to the zone valves.
2. When using a closed-type expansion tank, connect
the expansion tank and make-up water piping as
shown in Figure 1, page 3.
3. Connect water heater (domestic hot water) piping
to indirect storage water heater as shown.
The PhD Control Module turns off
space heating during water heater heating.
The boiler circulator will turn off,
preventing hot water from circulating to
the system. The flow/check valve shown
on the boiler outlet piping prevents
gravity circulation in the boiler loop
during water heater heating.
4. Controlling the system circulator
a. To cycle the system circulator from the Ultra PhD
control module, add a circulator relay wired to the
boiler circulator terminals as shown on page 8.

21 Primary/secondary connection
NOTE 1: To ensure adequate flow rate through the
boiler, use the following pipe size on all boiler
loop piping (connecting boiler to and from
the primary/secondary connection, item 21):
Ultra-80 or Ultra-105 – 1" or larger.
Ultra-155 or Ultra-230 – 1¼" or larger.
Ultra-310 – 1½" or larger.
Use at least the minimum piping size above
and pipe the boiler using only primary/
secondary piping as shown. Failure to
follow these guidelines could result in
system problems.
