Hi guys, how would you go about installing 3 75 gallon power vent water heaters (big house). The heaters will have a circulator pump and an expansion tank. Also, what kind of circulator pump would you recommend for this setup and expansion tank? Thanks for any help ahead of time!

hopefully you have the 3 heaters separated into 3 zones and are not trying to
tandem the things

draw a floor plan of the house, include the piping
is the house already sheet rocked?
is the piping looped under the slab, or is it piped over head?

the house is almost completely finished. One of the last steps is the water heaters. Im guessing the original plumber was going to do them tandem. 3 water heaters seems excessive but thats what the original plan was. The house has 3 kitchens, 6 or so bathrooms, 2 laundry's. Ive never installed 3 water heaters like this in a house so wanted some advice.

I’m not too familiar with the house and I can’t get into it to try and draw out a floor plan. Would it matter at this point since all that the plumber left was the inlet and return. Everything is looped above.
