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.

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!
