Rogers solution is pretty simple without having to add another zone onto your zone supply and return manifold but most drain and tp valves are only 3/4 diameter which means you lose a lot of flow reducing your btu capability. Since you only have one zone for the whole house I assume that th house isn't huge and you could probably get away with just using the drain and tp valve.

You are correct, it's a small house. Single level, roughly 1200sqft

Ok that's good to hear

What are most people doing with similar setups?
I haven't had great luck researching it

Thanks for your help

Plumbing / Connecting to indoor boiler options

« on: October 04, 2016, 05:45:57 PM »

I'm installing a used outdoor boiler to my indoor oil boiler. I will be using a heat exchanger. The Indoor boiler has a coil in it to heat domestic water and a single zone to heat the house. At this time I'd like to leave that alone

I'm thinking the simple option would be to add a second zone to indoor boiler and run circulator 24/7 through the heat exchanger. This should keep indoor boiler up to temp all the time allowing me to have hot water all the time and heat whenever the house calls for it.
The negative would be running 2 circulators 24/7.

Does anyone see a problem or possibly a much better option?
