Do you have the zone circulators hooked up to a relay control box?

What model is the aquastat and all the circulators? You need to add up the amp draw of all the circulators.

Normally R845As would be used for each circulator or there are panels that will handle 4 circulators.

I would put a 10 amp relay in and run the secondary pumps with it. You are close enough to the rating that it would be better safe than sorry. Besides, a relay is only $10, small money to pay compared to a L8124A. ;)

The manual says the circulator circuit in the L8124a can handle 7.4 amps. You might overheat that relay on a long heat call...probably a good idea to put the 007's on their own relay.
