    Not a problem...

    provided you pipe it right.  Make sure your pitches are correct.



    The only thing you may want to do is put a regular one pipe vent on the radiator, if your return is going direct to a wet return.  The other approach would be to pipe the return as a dry return until some point, put in a vent there, and then drop to the wet return.  Either way should work.  If you follow me...
