Question:

Boiler circulator pump sizing for &equivalent length of pipe&?

I am piping out a hot water condensing boiler that has its own boiler loop and circulator pump aside from the heating system loop and circulator pump. The manufacturer supplied a recommended circulator pump for the boiler loop which is sized for 50 ft. of equivalent length of pipe. The instuctions go on to say that it may require a higher flow circulator pump if you pipe it out more that 50 ft. of equivalent length of pipe. It then gives a chart of how much each fitting and valve is equal to as a length of pipe. My question is, do i size the circulator pump just based on the fittings and valves equivalent length, or do i also add up the amount of actual pipe in between each fitting and valve to come up with the amount?Please help, im not understanding this.

We keep guns at home, my husband sleeps with a gun under the pillow, when he is out of town I keep a revolver in the night stand.
When living in SA my parents had 8 armed security guards patrolling the perimeter of our estate , So we always felt safe but when i think about it now, its pretty screwed up having 2 live that way, but when u know no better,you think its normal. Now i live in Australia the only thing that u have 2 worry about invading the home is mosquitos and flies.
No I dont have any weapons in my house. I refuse to keep them. I dont live in fear at all. I am alone most of the time and sleep well every night. I do stay in South Africa. I have been attacked 2x by never in my home.
I know a 4 year old kid who pulled it with ease!
Yeah, I use to keep a broom handle at my front door. I used to do martial arts, so I know how to use it effectively. I also used to keep a knife taped to the back of my front door and keep one hand on the knife as I opened the door. *ADD* To those who hate mailed me for being aggressive. I'm sorry if a woman living alone in South Africa that knows how to protect herself from scum like you p!sses you off!!!
