Notes: Required Flow = Output*1000/(500*ΔT), where flow rate is in GPM, output is in MBH, and ΔT is in °F
Outputs for specific boiler models are provided in Table 1-6. See also Tables 6-4 and 6-5 for near boiler piping sizing. Using boiler
antifreeze will result in increased fluid density and may require larger circulators.
