in Radiant Heating
Can anyone post a schematic of a hot water heater boiler with a manifold piped off the supply and returns for 3 zones? I plan on adding in radiant heat for my kitchen and bathrooms separately using 1/2”

    Many of us can. The question is Will We?

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Do you currently have a single zone connected to your boiler?

    What radiators are you using: Cast iron, Copper/Alum fin Baseboard, Convector?

    What radiant heat are you adding: Staple up under the floor, Gyp-crete thin pour on the floor, other?

    is this the type of "manifold" diagram you are interested in?

    From the presentation I used for teaching Hydronics.

    Flo-control on the suction side of the circ? B&G typically shows them down stream? I like you lower temperature placement better.

    Take that up with Dan. He wrote the book I stole it from.

    but don't be too hard on him, he's still learning
