You Need
a system pump after the mixing vlave for the radiant. What size. Generally a Taco 007 or Grundfos 15-58 but pump sizing is dependent on heat loss, flow rates and head of the system. Without knowing these parameters, your rolling the dice.There was an error rendering this rich post.

System Design
Hi,
I'm building a 30'x44' two-story addition to my home. The subfloor is already in, and I want to install hardwood on the second floor. I want to heat the second floor via Radient heat tubing added to the bottom of the subfloor.
1. Where can I go to get a proper system design?
2. Is it prudent to locate the boiler in the first floor (garage)?
3. I live in NH, have natural gas, and need to heat my domestic water too. Should I use a boiler, a water heater or an on-demand unit?
4. Will enough heat transfer through the subfloor and hardwood without having to raise the water temp high enough to cup the hardwood?
Thanks!0
