Royall 6150 Installation Questions

Hello everyone. Fist time poster here. Just got my new Royall 6150 indoor coal/wood boiler down the basement. At almost 1000 lbs it was a fun job. Used my engine hoist and built a 6x6 wood cradle over the stairs and swung it in from outside with the help of my kids. Anyway, the plan is to hook up with my old Peerles oil burner (soon to run on Vegatable oil). My plumber says that the oil burner circulator pumps are "push pull" type - above the burner on the supply side (3 zones) Anyone see a problem with Push/Pull circulators or have a schematic? The intstruction manual has the pumps on the bottom.

Also need a Dump circuit - any Ideas? Was thinking of just running a few basebord lengths in the basement.

A new Burnham 119 gallon Indirect water heater is coming next week also and will be plumbed in at the same time and will have its own zone which makes 4 zones. Do I need a 5th zone for the Dump curcuit?

Anyone? Feel free to chime in now, OK

hi never replied before in response to your question about dump zones. I built a homemade indoor boiler. I put a clamp on aquastat on the return line back to the boiler set at 210 degrees f tied aquastat into thermostat wiring on the zone that is used the most, so if the temperature gets above 210 turns zone on in house to reduce temperature in the boiler, no need for separate loop. Hope this Helps

Thanks for replying hotwork - but my thinking is that on a cold day how could the "zone that is used the most" in my case the first floor, be used to dump excess heat when its already Hot from being 'used the most' ????
