Here are a couple loops I have built over the years.
See if you can figure out the buffered Munchkin wall loop, it has a key component that makes it work.

Let me guess. Invisible Venturi fitting to induce flow?
I like the circle loop the best.

I did a bunch of buffer tank systems back 12- 15 years ago when I was installing full time. I liked this sealed combustion Crown boiler, easy to vent and bring combustion air right into the cabinet.

I found that a nickel ($0.05) fits perfectly in the bottom of a 3/4" copper fitting. Drill whatever size hole you need, and you've got it made.hot rod said:A disc soldered between the two tees forces flow down thru the buffer tank. Basically a 50 gallon Munchkin, for a multi, micro zoned home.
