Im working on a one pipe parallel flow steam system, customer is adding extension to home, im trying to stay away from using a condensate zone due too budget. Can I pipe the radiator (30 edr) room heatloss is 7000 btus using 2 pipes, with the return going into a wet return? Thanks Paul S

Not a problem...

provided you pipe it right.  Make sure your pitches are correct.



The only thing you may want to do is put a regular one pipe vent on the radiator, if your return is going direct to a wet return.  The other approach would be to pipe the return as a dry return until some point, put in a vent there, and then drop to the wet return.  Either way should work.  If you follow me...
