Insulation

Should the dry return of a 1 pipe steam system be insulated. I got the Asbestos removed and just insulated the mains, not the dry returns. Is this okay?

insulate all piping
The condesate looses heat on its way back to the boiler and that makes the boiler work harder to turn it to steam.

Do you go right up to the boiler in all cases? I have a 23 unit apartment building with a steam boiler.There was an error rendering this rich post.
