Returns-dry to wet conversion

Jim B_2

All:

Planning a basement re-model and would enjoy having the extra few inches of headroom taken up by the dry return lines. I am considering converting to wet returns and running along the basement walls. I would apppreciate any comments or concerns wrt to doing so.

Thank you.

I don't foresee any problems

go for it. A 1-inch wet return will handle 700 square feet EDR- more than the same size dry return if memory serves.

If you don't have main vents, now would be a real good time to add them.
