Boiler header

in THE MAIN WALL
I'm in the process of adding 2 more zones to my 1 zone heat. Currently I have 1 circulator pump in line. I am going to remove the pump and add a 3 zone cast iron header. Can I mount the header vertical and have the circulators horizontal or do I need to mount the header horizontal??

    The motor shaft of the circ must be horizontal. It doesn't matter if it pumps vertically or horizontally.



    You achieve this by removing the 4 screws that hold the motor to the pump housing and rotating it 90*, if necessary.

    You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.
