Pipe sizing for hot water coil

Hello

I need help with what pipe size I need to run for a hydronic hot water coil. 
Coil specs:
72k mbh
4 gpm
1.5 pressure drop
180 entering temp
142 leaving temp
3/4" coil connection
1650 cfm 
620 fpm

Piping is roughly 25 feet from circulator. Pump is a UPS-15-58FC 3 speed circulator. 
I am planning to install a 3/4" bell and Gossett gpm circuit setter. 

Question is 3/4" pipe from circulator along with a 3/4" circuit setter enough to provide the btu this coil needs? 

The boiler is a navien combi working off a primary/secondary loop. And the pipe run goes up approx 20 vertically And 10 feet horizontally. 

Thanks in advance

    With that 40°ΔT, 3/4" pipe will be fine.
    8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

    Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab
