Flow Check?

The discharge of a circ causes turbulance which may make a standard check chatter or rattle. IFC's are designed to be in the circ. I use IFC circs only and 'undersling' my returns so I do not need checks. I use spring checks if I really need one.

Flow Checks
Anyone know why Taco wants a minimum of 12" from the circ to the 220 Cast iron flocheck? This doesn't seem to make a look of sense when they now have the IFC Circs.0
