Hello all,
I am trying to locate a boiler feed pump that will be serving two steam boilers at 114 Bhp each. Is there any guidelines of how far the pump can be located from the boilers. The condensate is gravity fed, and i want to located the boiler feed pumps two floors below the boilers and about 100 feet away. Is there a min or max distance guideline?
Thanks for your replies.

make sure your pump and piping can handle it. boiler doesnt care where it gets the water from, so long as it is timely and the proper quantity. make sure its well insulated though.
