Where is the circulating pump on a boiler typically located?

The circulating pump on a boiler is typically located above the boiler. This positioning allows the pump to effectively move water away from the boiler and through the heating system. When placed above the boiler, the pump can take advantage of gravity to help drain any air that might be trapped in the system and can enhance the efficiency of water circulation. This location ensures that the pump is able to deliver heated water to various components of the heating system, such as radiators or underfloor heating, without risking overheating or damage to the pump itself.

Understanding the typical placement of the circulating pump is important for maintenance and troubleshooting, as it can affect the overall efficiency and operation of the heating system.
