4.14 Plumbing Guidelines
Zoning with zone valve
- In a valve based system, there is one circulator pump at the boiler and each heating zone has a zone
valve which opens when the zone.
- Each thermostat is wired directly to the corresponding zone valve. Contacts in the zone valves provide a
proper signal to the boiler when the valve is opened.
