hot water loop off steam system

Another aquastat? If steam there wont be one.<BR>When using the same thermostat for both(provided you sized the HW zone properly), install an aquastat below the boilers waterline to start and stop the circ with a TRV on the rad to prevent any overshoot.<BR>I would also use a PD valve to stop any dead-heading of that circ.<BR>Pretty basic really.<BR><BR>Dave

    I am going to run a hot water baseboard loop off my steam system. I have a 2 year old Well- Mclain and know exactly how to run the piping. My problem is the wiring. I am going to be running this baseboard off the existing thermostat in the house but I do not no how to wire the circulator pump. And do i have to add another aquastat? I would greatly appreciate if someone can try to explain this to me. Thanks
