can i run a f.h.w. loop off a steam boiler up to the 2nd floor. it is about 15 feet above the boiler. if it will work on the 2nd floor does anyone have a piping diagram. thanks, bob

Yep, you can

Be careful with the piping, put a valve on the return by the boiler that you can use to create some back pressure on the pump if it flashes to steam, even with a bypass. Pipe it like this....

We did a job using this diagram 2years ago. We used the everhot tank and everything. So far its working great.
