I recently got a 50 plate 3X8 heat exchanger with 3/4" fittings on it. My pex tubing is at 1". How big of an issue is this going to be going down from 1" to 3/4" for this? I understand it is limiting the flow, but how much is the flow limited by the plate exchanger anyways, since it goes down to much less than 3/4" through the plate. There is a 5X12 50 plate exchanger with 1" fittings on it that I could possible acquire, but it won't be here until about halfway through the season, and I'd rather have this installed before starting up the boiler.
1" to 3/4" at DHW plate exchanger
