Piping question

Is this ok?

The boiler return tapping is on the bottom right of boiler. I have no space to run the return off to the right side. The only way I can clear the swing-out door and burner is to drop the return under the burner and come straight out about 2 feet, then up. (Boiler is about 8 inches above floor on pad)

Is it ok for the return to drop below the boiler by about 3 inches? This would be the lowest point in the system. (hot watersystem)Thanks

    swing out doors

    Like Clammy said, it may be reversible. I like to 45 them over then up. It would be OK to go below the boiler, just if it interferes with the burner access, the next guy won't be too happy with you. Is there a tapping opposite in back?
