wet return routing

Ok I'm assuming it doesn't matter but before I pipe my wet return I want some opinions.
I have two wet returns coming in from opposit directions. Can I pipe it as shown in the top of my picture or will one cause the other not to drain? One handles a lot more radiators than the other therefore will have a lot more flow.

I don't think it makes any difference
which return is first or second from the Hartford. When they re-did mine I just assumed it didn't matter. Or the layout of the overhead returns decided where they were going to end up. Now that you have asked, I went and checked mine, the return with the most EDR is farthest from the Hartford.
I like the way these returns (in the picture) connect to the Hartford. Looks kinda like the header on a car.0 -
Won't make a bit of difference
There will be a slight difference in head loss with a T like that, but I do mean small. Like almost unmeasurable. So don't worry about it.Br. Jamie, osb
