Hot Water Loop to Steam Boiler

nycpa

Hi,



I wanted to know if its possible to directly circulate the water from a steam boiler around the basement of my house without having a bypass loop or heat exchange.  A plumber I talked to said I don't need any of those things. 



Thanks

Don't use that plumber!! Call a heating professional. Where are you located?



You need a bypass loop, at least, to maintain proper temperature in the pumped loop. A heat exchanger is not necessary on all applications.
