relay switches vs multi zone control panels

Jim_44

What would be your preferance when it comes to using relay switches on a 3 or 4 zone residential hydronic system using circulators. Do you prefer individual relays for each tstat or the multi zone relay panel such as the one made by ARGO. Please let me know the pros and cons using either one.

Thank you
JIM

Taco, SR504

Good Afternoon
Taco, offers a multi zone switching relay, with priority feature, and diagnostic lights to trouble shoot the system. Additionally, you can use an outdoor reset control, injection mixing control, or a two boiler staging control. For your convenience I have attached a submittal data sheet, and a typical wiring instruction sheet. Incidentally, all of these controls are on the Taco, web site at www.taco-hvac.com. Please advise, if you require additional assistance.

go for a taco:)

Zone esp, taco 504exp, 702 all nice and green use a taco bronze body for the secondary injector you will be looking clean.

I like

the Taco's also they are SWEET Not sure I agree with the bronze body, however. What's up with that Wheezer??

I like the Grundfos 15-58 for most circ applicatione. Quiet, 3 speed, 3 year warranty. And they work fine with the Taco relays

Definitely a multizone relay like Argo or Taco. Neatens the job, eaisier to install, wire and service

You could also consider...

a Honeywell R8888B1005, a four zone circ control panel with priority, status & diagnostic led's, can be expanded up to 16 zones. Works with any Honeywell or competitive stats, check it out at http://hbctechlit.honeywell.com. I think you'll like this control!
