Counterflow steam system

I usually pipe it like a counterflow system with one main and take the second main off as a branch from the first main. Or you can pipe it like this if you want but the first way is easier and it works fine.

    Counterflow steam system

    I was wondering if anyone had a drawing to pipe a 2-main counterflow steam system. The home has the boiler in the center pg the home and there is a main going to the left and one going to the right.
    I know you have to come in the top of the mains. What is here is a tee at the end of the header (wrong) and it goes up into the branch of a tee which connects to both mains. The equalizer comes off the bottom of the tee on the very end of the header.
    All the condensate runs back both mains and down through the same tee at the end of the header.
    Drawing would help much.
