Taco 007-Z-IFC

brucewo1b

I usually come up from the boiler install a Spirovent air eliminator with the extrol tank hanging off the bottom and the pressure reducing valve ie water feed teed in between the spirovent and extrol. after the extrol put in a tee to the HWM circulor then to a second tee to the heating circulator.
Check out this site and go to page 44 and you will see what I mean just make the first circulator the HWM.

?

I was wondering about installing a Taco 007-ifc for my boiler mate and if it was necessary to install a zone valve with it?

I will have a 007 on the supply side of the boiler and then teeing off just after it to the boiler mate and I wasn't sure if I would need the zone valve to go with the circulator or should I look at the 007-Z-ifc circulator?

???

What do you mean by teeing in after it do you mean after the circulator or in the manifold after it passes the tee to the first circulator??? You sould always tee the HWM in first so that it always sees the hottest water. I have not had any problems with just using the Grundfos ifc circulators. Just make sure that you have air vents anyplace that you could trap air on that HWM.

teeing off after the boiler circulator. So you shouldn't get water flowing through the boiler mate when the other zones are calling for heat?

thanks for the help

IFC

So the IFC dosn't open unless the circulator it's in turns on?

brucewo1b

Correct

Circulator opens the ifc

Thank you

Again thank you for your help.

I am with bruce on the piping,would look at higher head pump for a boiler mate.007 to small to be ideal..

I agree

I have a Super-Stor (not sure how the PD is compared to a Boiler Mate) but it uses a Taco 0010. 10 GPM at 10 feet of head. The 007 puts out 10 GPM at 7.5 feet of head by comparison.

Good Choice

Had the same set up at my own house. Works great!! the IFC does give you more flow, because no additional pressure drop through an external check valve which can add up to approx. 150 linear feet of pipe.

Press. Drop

through a Boilermate is approx. 3'. What's the problem? 007IFC is plenty if piping isn't 100' away.

Pressure drop

is predicated on flow rate.

As stated, I do not know what the PD of a boiler mate is (off the top of my head) and at what flow rate I should have added.

I just know my vendor recommended a high-flow low-head pump for my Super-Stor and it works -quickly. I do not disagree with you on that.

6 gpm should doit

I'll sell a 007IFC any day over a 0010, and get the same results.

Brad White_24

You probably are right, Jed

I never measured the DHW boiler flow. All flow goes to the heater, the faster the better. Have a few 007's and Grundfos kicking around for spares, so now they may have a home..:)

Thanks
