300,000 Btu boiler. 180,000 Btu load.
Run it 24/7 with constant circ. in a 2" loop that stretches around the home. Maintain 165/160 in the secondary loop by way of a 4-way mix. Keep the boiler pinned between 210/195.
Let's add a great big oversized 6.5 amp circ while we're at it and forget any type of support - that's what the flex connectors are supposed to handle - right?
