Sounds like its a mono flow system. Be careful here they can be a nightmare if not piped correct. Also how much radiation per zone? Micro zoning can be a problem and cause the boiler to short cycle. Don't use wild temp differences between the zones.
I would pipe the 2nd fl to a manifold set up Keeps it simple and balances the flow to each radiator.
I would certainly use zone valves vs. circulators.
What are you using for a boiler?5 -
