5. Install isolating anges or isolating valves on all circulators.
6. Install purging valve(s) on all circuits.
7. All closely spaced tees shall be within 4 pipe diameter center to center spacing.
8. Install minimum of 6 pipe diameters of straight pipe upstream and downstream of all closely spaced tees.
