I've got a question to something I can't figure out and would appreciate any help here.
Sizing of intake and outtake manifolds on a 3 zone series loop, HW boiler with 1 pump and 3 zone valves.
Here's my concern. The pump (B&G 100) has an opening of just less then 1". Since that is the case, does it make sense to build to and out of it with anything larger then 1" pipe? Is it necessary to use 1 1/4" or even 1 1/2" when the pump restricts it to 1" ?
On the other side. The 3/4" zone valves have an opening that's about 3/8" at best. Does that manifold that, in this case, feeds 3 small zones (it's a small house) need to be larger then 1" ?
