One-pipe resurection!

Just returned from a one-pipe steamer. Owner wanted to convert to HW. Not a chance in he-doublehockeysticks! The rads don't connect across their tops. Beautiful old gals with lots of fancy scrolling. Log home from early 1900's, so BB is out of the question too.

So, why's she a-banging, a-clanging and a squirtin like old faithful at each rad? Level-laid undersized lines and no returns to take away de flood waters. Lots of basement piping alterations with 1" and 3/4" side takeoffs (instead of 45 degree inclined takeoffs). Dim A is below min too, so that only adds to the wetness of der schteam.

Unt guess vere de pressure troll ist set??? Try 8 Lbs! Yumpin yimminie ve ist gonna enchoy dis vun vunct. Kommon cents vent out der vinder unt knocker demons came in to schtay. Ver're gonna evict the buggers unt reshtore sum peace unt qviet! Gonna save a hun of money too vunct that P-Troll gets achusted. Cha-cha-cha-changes to the mains too.
