Looking for a primary/secondary piping scheme for a 2 zone system . 1) DHW and 2) box rad in air handler. Connection is to Bosch Greenstar condensing boiler.

Would you or someone else be performing the work ? By box rad , you mean coil within an air handler ?

davhead

Yes, to coil within an air handler. New boiler to replace 80's era Glowcore. I will be doing the work. Tradesman for 35 years.

unit is being installed in an Earth-Sheltered home with very small load swings. Biggest load is probably DHW.

If you have not yet used the Find a contractor feature , you should . You may also contact me , my info is below . Would need to know more about the house and exactly what it is you would like to install .

Used contractor feature and nothing with in 100 miles came up. What type of info do you need on the house? It is a passive solar earth-shelter. with south east facing glass. 40 X 44 foot dome completely covered. Installing Bosch Greenstar ZBR 28 3A. Current system uses zone valve to prioritize DHW over heat call. It has been suggested that I go to eliminating zone valve and use 2 zone pumps instead. DHW tank is 30 gal. and sits adjacent to boiler. Air handler is just above boiler on second floor. Will contact you if interested.

That individual is a Bosch factory rep. I questioned going from one pump to 3 myself ,but have not got an answer, other than it will make wiring easier.
