How far below the normal water line does a loop seal have to be? thanks in advance, steve

Do You mean ?

Like, for a Hartford Loop? About 2" below minimum water line for the tee and as close to floor as I can. But I am not sure what you mean

not the hartford

The connection where the drips from the main and the dry return connect together before they drop into the wet return.

I'd make it

at least a foot if you can. This is a Vapor system, right?

vapor it is

thanks . Is their a reason the loop seal crosses over to connect the drip to the dry return? Why wouldn't they have dropped both of them straight down into the wet return?
