HI All,
I am setting up the piping for my new Tarm and would love some feedback on how I have my pipes laid out.
Does the layout on the attached picture seem logical to you?

All the pipes are already assembled on the return side and I'm working on the supply side now. I ran into a snag with the Automag zone valve for the no power overheat loop. Originally I was going to mount it vertically along with the normal zone valve for my heat zone but it must be mounted horizontally to function.
On a related question to layout my indirect water heater now has it's own circulator off the existing oil boiler. I was planning on replacing this circulator with a zone valve and then just using the circulator on the Tarm return and the circulator on storage tank. Does this make sense to do? Or should I just continue using a circulator directly on the water heater supply?
thanks in advance,
Aaron
