This is where we started (as previously posted in another thread):
And this is where we are now:
Along the way:
This system was a combination of a 120+ year old one and two pipe air vent system. One of the returns would not hold air pressure and was inaccessible; so, we did a modification and eliminated that return and one first floor rad and re-worked the branch feeding the other rad's to drain counter Flow:
Two Big Mouth vents clear the 80' 2 1/2" main in less than three minutes.
