Near boiler piping size??

Dave0176

Getting ready to install a WM PEG 30. The EDR is 185 so the boiler is a bit oversize, but it's the smallest steamer. There are only 4 radiators in the house. The riser is piped to a bullhead tee, on one side there is 3 radiators the other is 1. Should I remove the tee and pipe separate mains. This system has been piped like this from day one, also the returns are piped into a tee and one drop. Usually I run 2 2" risers and a 2 1/2 header, would that be overkill for this system??

Fact

Wouldn't be over-kill at all. The fact that it has been piped that way from day one just means a knucklehead installed it then. Did he put an arrow on the pipe, so the steam knows which way to go? Although small...the homeowner and the system deserve better.

Forgot to mention

I will be running a drop header as I do on all my steam jobs.
