EVERY boiler in a forced flow hot water system requires a circ.
If it's an old gravity flow system with a boiler designed for gravity flow, that's a different animal.Bob Boan
You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.0 -
If you meant does it come packaged with one, I believe it comes with a TACO 007, no flow check.0

I think the question is does it require a circ pump?
A gravity system today would be interesting.0 -
It does. There is too much resistance inside the boiler to allow gravity flow.All Steamed Up, Inc.

Most likely, it's air bound. That's assuming it's piped correctly. If it's a monoflo system, it can be extremely difficult to get all of the air out.Bob Boan

You are going to need to post a lot more information about your system.
Is the house radiators or baseboard originally?
Does it have a pump now?
Pictures of what you have and what you added would help a lot.2
