The chart below represents the combined ow rates and pipe sizes when using multiple boilers to design the manifold system for
the primary circuit. To size, simply add up the number of boilers and the required ow rates for the system design temperature.
Example: (5) EFT-55 boilers with a design of 20°Δt degree temperature rise with each boiler having an individual ow rate of 5.3
GPM. To correctly size the manifold feeding these (5) boilers you would need a pipe size of 2”.
