is to keep the water's velocity low, so it won't short-circuit thru the radiators. You can do this with smaller circulators, or with reduced pipe sizing as Clammy did.

Honeywell Unique Valves
as seen in Dan's book, but I can't figure out how they will work with a circulator. Most of my rads have this valve, but have not seen discussion of use in upgraded system.0 -
