For all those wondering about piping designs & layouts, what valves, pumps (circulators), are needed, etc., there is a wonderful learning resource online. I just ran across it and cannot get enough!
The site is www.pmmag.com, and the articles are titled "The Glitch and the Fix". They are written by John Seigenthaler, P.E., and seem to be based on experience, but also have enough theory when needed.
The articles show designs with problems, then explain each issue, and give a corrected design.
Several articles are written each year, and you can read them, all the way back to 2006.
