Abstract:
1. A method for assembling a hydronic circulation system, the method comprising the following steps: fabricating a stand assembly, adapted and constructed to support the hydronic circulation system, the hydronic circulation system including a modular manifold component, the component comprising a control conduit section adapted and constructed to receive a selectively actuable fluid control mechanism selected from a group consisting of mixing valves, injection valves, check valves, isolation valves, circulators and zone valves, the control conduit section having an inlet and an outlet; a return conduit section secured to the control conduit section in fluid communication with the inlet of the control conduit section; a supply conduit section secured to the control conduit section in fluid communication with the inlet of the control conduit section; and wherein the control conduit further comprises an outlet section adapted and constructed to selectively receive the selectively actuable fluid control mechanism via at least one of an upper and a lower receiving end of the outlet of the control conduit section, at a fabrication location; bringing the stand assembly to an installation location located remotely from the fabrication location; installing the stand assembly at the installation location by selectively connecting the stand assembly to modular components of the hydronic circulation system; and installing components of the hydronic circulation system on the stand at the installation location.
