Unique Valve & Grav Conversion

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.

    Thank you both

    When embarking on a whole new boiler install it is kinda scary so I have had more questions than I should have/The pro comes Monday, but he has done mostly big setups.
