The water side resistance curve of the boiler is shown in the diagram in Figure 4-8.
The pump is not an integral part of the boiler. It is recommended to choose a pump with the rate
and delivery head at about 2/3 of its characteristic heating curve.

NOTE:
The use of a mixing header fitted between the boiler circuit and the system circuit is always
advisable. It becomes INDISPENSABLE if the system requires flow rates superior to the
maximum permitted boiler flow rates, which is to say lower than 27° F (15 K).
4.14 CONDENSATE PIPING AND DRAIN
To avoid condensate collecting inside the combustion exhaust system, the condensate piping
must slope toward the drain at least 3/8 inch per foot (30 mm/m).
