Panel Rads Below Loop

Climate Creator

I want to get a kick in the right direction, I have a 1" loop running above 2 panel rads and 2 towel warmers. I had planned on using 1" X 1/2" Monoflos on the Supply AND return spaced the width of the rad. I plannned it this way because the rads are ALL below the main loop, My questions are these; Will I have a problem possibly if the Thermostatic valve closes? And Is there any rule that says how close one mono can be from another NON related rad? In otherwords can you put a supply mono right next to a ret mono from a previous rad? I know we mix them when its above and below but I am not sure what to do here.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
CC

Thanks, But...........

That was immensely helpful thank you; I have decided to pipe the rads straight and not use individual control. But the question remains as to whether there is any effect on the tees if they are piped closely to one another. Inlet to outlet not between risers or drops in this case but between sets.

Thanks again,

A pressure actuated bypass valve will help take care of any issues arising from a TRV closing.

No, there's no rule regarding how close one monoflo tee can be spaced to the next one when they are for different emitters. Obviously you want to have nothing between the tees that are to a single emitter.
