## The pump shall be sized to maintain not less than 122°F at the furthest fixture under the no-load condition; undersizing by ignoring pipe heat loss produces a pump that cannot maintain loop temperature, which is the single most common recirculation failure. {note}

## Motor horsepower shall be the smallest size that delivers the scheduled duty point; most residential and small commercial recirculation circulators fall between 1/40 HP and 1/6 HP, and large building mains rarely exceed 5 HP. {note}

## Without a check valve, thermal convection can drive reverse flow through an idle recirculation pump, defeating the temperature-maintenance intent and stressing the pump bearing; the check valve is not optional on a recirculation loop. {note}
+## The isolation and check valve provision shall be specified for each pump, and a check valve shall be furnished on every recirculation pump to prevent thermally driven reverse flow.
