in THE MAIN WALL
a foot ? Is it so any condensate falling down the 1st riser doesn't get picked up with the steam into the next riser ?

    Header Piping

    I seem to recall reading somewhere (most likely on this sight) about minimum distances between the tees connecting the boiler steam risers to the header and where the system riser connects to the header. Should there also be a minimum distance between the system riser and the equalizer?

    Ideally,

    about a foot.

    It keeps the carryover

    from bouncing off the equalizer elbow and up into the riser.
