WM97+ gas-fired water boiler — Boiler Manual
Figure 54 WM97+155 Zone valve zoning —
primary/secondary connection —
a system circulator is required
The boiler primary/secondary by-pass valve
MUST be OPEN
for
single-boiler WM97+155 applications, with system connected
as primary/secondary.
See Figure 54.
1. OPEN
the boiler internal primary/secondary by-pass valve.
2. Install a system circulator (supplied by installer) as shown.
3. A benefit of primary/secondary piping is that it does not apply the head
of the boiler circulator to the system zone valves.
Expansion tank required
1. Provide a system expansion tank following the guidelines on page 43.
2. DO NOT use a closed-type tank if connecting to a water heater that
is equipped with an automatic air vent.
DHW or CWH, if used
1. DHW or CWH direct connection —
Pipe from boiler’s bottom connec-
tions to water heater boiler connections as shown. See CWH manual for
CWH piping instructions.
2. DHW as a zone — A DHW tank can be connected as a zone if a DHW
tank or CWH is
NOT
connected to the boiler.
To provide DHW priority
operation in this case, a Weil-McLain WMZV must be used.
3. Priority option — By default, the WM97+ control turns off space heat-
ing to its Zone 2 and Zone 3 outputs during domestic water heating on
Zone 1. The MAX ON TIME setting can be adjusted to limit how long
this occurs. Set the MAX ON TIME to “0” to disable domestic priority.
4. If
NOT
connecting a water heater, terminate the bottom connections as
shown in the inset on Figure 54.
Controlling the zones
1. The WM97+ control can be set up to operate on space heating only or
on space heating plus DHW or CWH. Refer to Field wiring, beginning
on page 64, for instructions on wiring to zone valves.
2. The boiler and zone valves can also be operated by a Weil-McLain
WMZV zone controller.
