Using w ith Weil-McLain AQUA PLUS water heaters
See !15!0,53 - Product Manual for typical water piping.
AQUA PLUS DHW installation — quick-
selection
The information in this section is for usage of Ultra boilers
with Weil-McLain AQUA PLUS indirect water heaters.
For dedicated DHW applications, use the circulator supplied
with the boiler to circulate to the water heater as shown in
this section.
By default, the U-Control Module turns off space heating dur-
ing DHW heating (if DHW input is priority 1). The boiler cir-
culator will turn off, preventing hot water from circulating to
the system (optional timeout setting can be used to override).
DO NOT use a closed-type expansion tank on a system with
a Weil-McLain AQUA PLUS water heater. The water heater
must use an automatic air vent. Operation of the automatic
air vent will deplete air in the piping, causing the expansion
tank to waterlog. Always use a diaphragm- or bladder-type
expansion tank with AQUA PLUS water heaters.
1. Follow the guidelines on this page and page 15 to connect the water
heater to the boiler. Use Figure 8 for dedicated water heating-only
applications. Use Figure 9 and Figure 10, page 15 for combined space
heating/water heating applications.
See ADVANCED INSTALLATION section for additional piping information and applications.
&IGURE Use the table below to size DHW loop piping and select a circulator (see ADVANCED section for other DHW tanks)

2. The AQUA PLUS water heater can also be installed
as one of the zones in the system. This method,
however, requires fl ow through the main system
even during the summer (non-space heating)
months. Piping as shown in Figure 9 and Fig-
ure 10, page 15 allows isolation of fl ow to just the
water heater piping during non-heating periods.
