    Hot water loop

    Can you use a different boiler? Or is this one already installed. Click on the systems tab choose Hot Water and then Condensate hot-water heating. Read through that article and it shows a way to accomplish this through the mud leg.

    Hot Water Condensate Zone with Limited Boiler Ports

    Hi Bob-  I was thinking about the problem of limited boiler ports and HW loops and remembered seeing a piping diagram to deal with this. It's attached below. It is in the Systems Section at the top of this page under Hot Water and Condensate Hot-Water Heating. Here's a direct link:

    I don't know if this would work any better than what you are proposing but thought I would bring it to your attention if your weren't already familiar with it.
