Viessmann Type 160/80 Low Loss Header, 44 GPM, 2.5 in. Flange - 7834470

The Viessmann Type 160/80 low loss header is a hydraulic separator for Viessmann boiler plants, sized for up to 44 GPM with 2.5 in. flange connections. It keeps the boiler loop and the distribution loop hydraulically independent, an arrangement that multi-boiler Vitodens 200 systems require.

Placed between the boilers and the building piping, the header splits the two circuits so they no longer push against one another. That separation improves how efficiently the plant runs and also helps clear dirt and debris out of the heating water. A shared supply temperature sensor mounted on the header wires to the Vitocontrol-S controller, which reads it to stage the boilers and hold an accurate system supply temperature.

Viessmann makes a low loss header mandatory whenever several Vitodens 200 boilers are installed together, up to four of them. The Type 160/80 stands 56.7 in. high, 22.1 in. wide and 11 in. long and weighs 100 lb.
