Piping question

Member Posts: 78
I am quoting a GB142 installation replacing a gravity boiler and need some assistance on piping.
Existing boiler has (2) 2" supplies and (2) 2" returns, now I do know the "near boiler" piping is wise to pipe in 3/4" to give the circulator something to pump against but just how do I tie into the supply and returns?
Option 1: Tee both supply pipes together and pipe 3/4" supply from GB142 into supply tee and the same with the return with balancing valves on each supply?
Option 2: Close (1) supply with respective return on each side with each having own circulating pump and "inject" into each loop with close spaced tees?
Heat loss at -18 is 65k and has 800 sq ft of radiation which is a perfect match for this boiler, plan on using Hydro-Solve 9100 and Protek 922 treatment.
Thanks for any help here!

I would go with option 1 but I'm not sure what you mean by option 2, I need visuals.
