    Balancing ?

    I have a split loop .Zone #1.. Taco Zone valves, (3).. when zone #2 or #3 call they pull thru the loop on zone #1..Cold to valve, it pulls thru 1 side of loop bypassing zone valve and continues back to boiler.. .#1 is the only split loop..piped correctly..only #1 heat when called for heat....Older system not sure how long it been doing it..Do you think balance valves would help??? Gate vales in system now... Thanks Rich

    balancing or gate valves will not stop ghost flow . if zone valves are shutting tight ,you might need a flow check on the opposite end of each loop. doid it ever work properly ?

    THE b.& g. vertical checks might be useful if it is a tight piping configuration. the horizontal pattern sometimes takes up space that is not available ! lol don't forget to include the engineering fee on your invoice.
