Wiring a boiler, 2 thermostats 2 valves

Utica Boiler with 2 valves controlled by 2 thermostats, 1 circulating pump. Each thermostat controls a separate valve.
Friend of mine is putting in a boiler for baseboard heat at my Dads. He’s a little unsure of the way to connect wires for above situation. Wants power to second thermostat so it can be used when needed. Told him I’d ask here, hope this is enough info.
Thanks
Kevin

There should be a wiring diagram on the zone-valve box. Note you can't use electronic thermostats with these valves.
believe there was a diagram, didn't cover the 2 thermostat situation. Aren't all thermostats electronic? What type should they use? Do you mean they can't use the digital type? The type they are using are the old fashioned dial type.

If not what valve?
seems like they got it figured out, thanks for your help.
