    I need help with a couple things where to plum the dump zone out of, and where to plumb the no power overheat zone. There is a pressure reliefe valve plumbed back into the boiler, does this go to the no power dump??? The other fitting on top of the boiler is controled by a aquastat a 200 degrees when it opens the zone is thiz my constant dump when the house isnt calling for heat any help would be great i have the manual but its vague

    Could do it different ways depending how your system is configured now & exactly what you have for ports & controls.

    One circuit out the top of the boiler could do both tasks, using a normally open zone valve and a break on rise aquastat, or you could use an existing zone and its piping to dump to, or some combination. You shouldn't have to use the pressure relief port - although mine does. Pictures might help, and defintely more info on what you have now. But it sounds like you already have a dump zone? (the 200 thing).

    I was gonna use old baseboard for a non power heat dump and i have a heatexchanger with a fan to run a heat dump in my garage,The house heat i would like to tie into my existing propane heat plumbed to a heat exchanger in my airhandler just not sure how yet
  4. On early boilers like your the , if there was a overheat condition the pressure relief was plumped into the fire box , so when the pressure relief lets go it puts the fire out .
    If your wood boiler is plumbed that way , to maintain its certification ,CSA or Ul approval it will have to be run that way .
