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...Br. Jamie, osb
