Commonly used boiler fittings. Pumping groups
Installation of boilers requires the development of a thermal circuit and the correct selection of equipment. This applies, first of all, to the correct connection of the heating circuits, but fittings for heating systems will also be required. For example, a traditional single-loop binding has one major drawback. All radiators are heated at different temperatures. The coldest heating device in the system turns out to be the most distant. The problem can be solved in two ways: with circuits with a maximum of 3 radiators or with pre-regulated valves. How to equalize the temperature in batteries, we told in one of the previous publications.

2 - Differential bypass valve (option)
3 - Supply thermometer
4 - Thermometer on the return
5 - Shut-off valves of the secondary circuit
6 - the Connecting tube (with a check valve)
7 - a rod wrench for shutoff valves of the secondary circuit
8 - Insulation
9 - Spacer
To simplify the task of setting up a heating system using valves, many craftsmen connect each radiator to a heating manifold. This approach is costly and inconvenient due to multiple pipe routing, but guarantees more accurate manual settings. Today we will look at a similar approach to fast installation with guaranteed quality.
Heating boiler circuit - connection via a pump group
It is customary to separate boilers into a separate circuit, which is supplied with its own circulation pump and the necessary fittings. In the classic case, we are talking about an expansion tank, a thermostat and a safety group. The pumping group for connecting the boiler can be supplied as a complete unit in one module.
For installation, the so-called fast assembly systems are used. Pumping groups can:
- have a specific purpose;
- provide conditions for connecting boiler generators and heat consumers;
- be designed for systems with certain parameters.
The purchase of such modules greatly simplifies the complexity of installation work, but increases the quality and reliability. But at the same time, there is a significant increase in cost than when using a set of fittings for heating systems.
The figures show examples of connecting boilers and heating circuits using pump groups.
Example 1
The heating system is based on the operation of the main boiler with a capacity of 40 kW, which is designed for two heating circuits: a radiator with a capacity of 35 kW and a heated floor with a capacity of 15 kW. The system has an indirect heating boiler with a capacity of 50 kW and a volume of 300 liters. Water heating is used all-season.

The use of pumping groups allows you to quickly and without errors perform piping of a boiler room of any complexity. In fact, they are a constructor for connecting any types of boilers to systems of any complexity and type. The solution includes all the necessary fittings - taps, thermometers, valves, bypasses and more. The models are supplied with and without a pump, this is done so that the buyer can choose a circulation module for his heating system. In this case, the installation of the device takes no more than 10 minutes.
The advantage of using pumping groups is the practical elimination of installer errors. In addition, such equipment is made of high quality and durable materials.
Example 2
The heating system of the house includes two 60 kW boilers with cascade connection. The modulated capacity of the equipment is planned to be used for heating two radiator circuits, two circuits of the "warm" floor and heating a pool of 20 kW. It is also planned to heat the hot water treatment tank. The DHW circuit has an all-season purpose and its maintenance is a priority. Heating system fittings are assembled from ready-made pumping groups.
