Notes:
1
Pump sizing based on Primary/Secondary plumbing configuration with specified minimum pipe diameter with up to 50’
equivalent length.
2
Models Tx151C and Tx200C incorporate the circulator responsible for generating flow through the boiler, therefore
sizing the circulator for boiler flow rate is not necessary.
3
The amperage draw of circulator models PL-55, UPS26-150, 2400-45 and E21 exceed the switching capacity of the
boiler pump contacts, an isolation relay must be utilized.
