I am looking for a one-in, two-pipe out, and yes, there are two circulators running.

    info on diverter valves

    I just read Dan's book on primary/secondary piping. I need help on finding and understanding diverter valves. This is for a radiant floor system - 140F in, 4 GPM total flow, 100F design @ 15F delta T. 3.1 GPM bypass (24,500 btu load)

    Thanks

    Diverter or Mixing?

    Typically, a diverter valve goes on the discharge (outlet) side of a circulator. One in-port, two out-ports. Thus applied, they cannot affect temperature unless another downstream circulator is involved.

    A mixing valve is typically on the suction (inlet) side of a circulator, with two in-ports and one common out-port passing the mixed temperature.

    ESBE (Danfoss), Tekmar, Oventrop, Viessmann and others all make or market such valves and have literature which will help you select them appropriately.

    Are you talking about these? Thermic Valves

    They are built specifically for boiler protection.
