How do I Run a Hot Water Zone Off a Steam Boiler

madmun · May 2004

I want to add a baseboard zone to my basement. I understand how to do it for above the water line. My question is, Do I install it for below the water line the same way as for above the water line?

Condensate zone..

Yes....Robert O'Connor/NJ

The best way is to

have a tankless coil. That becomes a complete zone on its own with the right approach.

Taking it off the condensate below the NOWL will have you eating pumps like mad - but is nonetheless do-able.

if you use a....

y-strainer and a bronze circulator you should not have a problem.....using a standard cast iron pump...maybe a year and a half life....kpc

I have done this several times with great success. Click on "Heating Q&A" at the left of your screen. Dan has this all figured out for you.

dont even think about doing this, without...

using a high torque 3 peice bronze pump

a water cooled and lubricated pump needs, well, "water", you cant do that with slude, and the bronze body will keep the iron oxide sludge from sticking to it

It may look easy, but to do it right you need some hands-on experience. Mad Dog
