    The flow check wants to go at the outlet of the circulator.

    The expansion tank connection wants to be at the suction (inlet) side of the circulator.

    The air scoop is also best installed at the inlet of the circulator, the fact that most have provisions to install the expansion tank there is no small coincidence and certainly is convenient.
