What are the codes for boiler water temps if any, for certain types of heat, ie, baseboard, cast radiator, in-floor etc? Should they be set for 150F or 180F or other?

Not sure if anything is in print in a code book, maybe in the hydronics installation code.  I've always gone with 80-100 for infloor depending on the finished floor covering.  Cast iron 140 to 150,  air handlers design is 130 or above, baseboard style 180.  Look at a Tekmar Reset module manual, they usually have design temperatures in the manual which will depict the temp ranges and reset range.

Thanks,. That's pretty much what I've been told before, just wanted some verification
