in THE MAIN WALL
I have oil burner with 3 zones. Two zones are in series loop but the third is just hooked up to one really long baseboard. Is this just a loop setup or is it a loop series still because the other zones are in series?

    The length or \"load\" on

    any one zone is not material e.g., (one piece of baseboard in one room - OR five runs of BB and five rooms).

    More typically, the zone valves should be all in "parallel" not series to each other...

    However, each zone could be series within all the baseboards within that one zone - OR in parallel. Most typical would be for each rad to be daisy chained from ZV to return, each HWBB (hot water baseboard) forming a continous "chain" of connections. There is a slim but possible parallel arrangement for some simplistic piping problem to be overcome and in an unusual way, as well.

    More importantly, why do you ask?
