Purpose of this Document
The cascade system guide is intended for Viessmann
representatives to provide general information regarding
components, assembly and wiring for various system
configurations using multiple WB2B 80/105 Vitodens
boilers.
This document is to be used for general information
only and maybe subject to change without notice. Some
products may not be exactly as illustrated.
For additional information or other system configurations,
contact the Viessmann commercial projects department.

IMPORTANT
All distribution manifold inline installations can not be free
standing and must be securely fastened to the floor and
the wall.
Wall mount or wall and floor installations must be capable
of supporting the weight of the boilers, distribution
manifold(s) and insulation.

Cascade System Guide
Purpose of this Document............................................2
Using standard Viessmann components, a maximum of 4 same size boilers can be connected in a cascade system using
a LL distribution manifold or field piped system (as shown below).
For systems requiring more than 4 boilers a custom Viessmann control is required.
A low loss header must be installed between the primary
boiler circuit and secondary system circuit. The LLH must
be sized to accommodate the highest flow rate.
All supply and return pipes are field supplied.
For systems that do not use the LLDM (field piped
systems) the contractor must size the pump according to
the pressure drop of the piping and the pressure drop of
the boiler heat exchanger.
For a list of recommended heating circuit/boiler pumps
refer to page 11.

Control for Heating System Loop
Vitocontrol-S, is capable of controlling (1) high
temperature circuit and (2) low temperature circuits with
mixing valves.
Refer to the price book 1 and 2 for available 3 and 4 way
mixing valve sizes and corresponding part numbers.
BMS tie-ins to the Vitocontrol-S will require additional
integration equipment, the following integration equipment
is available from Viessmann;
External mixing valve controllers are required when
controlling 3 or more mixing valve circuits, use one
Vitotronic 200 HK1M (PN 7134627) in conjunction with
the Vitocontrol-S for each additional mixing valve circuit
in the system.
Cascade System Guide
Additional equipment required when installing a Vitotronic
200 HK1M are as follows;
- (1) LON Connection cable 23 ft. (7 m) (7143495)
- (1) LON Terminal end resistors 92 pieces ( 7143497)
- (1) LON Communication modules for HK1M (7172173)
- (1) LON Communication modules for WB2B (7179113)
Venting Systems
Each boiler must be vented separately using one of the
following certified venting systems:
- Coaxial PP(s)
- Stainless steel
- CPVC Vent
- Flexible PP(s)
- PP(s) rigid venting
Refer to the Venting Installation Instructions
for more detail.
