I want to install a loop of my gas steam boiler.
I can I get away with a gravity loop instead of adding a circulation pump?
Is going to be two baseboards with the run being less than 25 ft.

Thank you HVACNUT,
I am going to pipe a separate loop with a bypass..
What I am trying to do is go with a passive hot water loop.
This is typically use for domestic. I was wondering if I can use this system along with a gravity loop in place of a circulating pump.Eloy G. Rosario0 -

It takes elevation differential and also temperature differential.
I have the gravity loop on my DHW and it achieves only a small trickle flow, good for DHW but not enough to heat BB. IMO
You could pipe is as you talked and if it does not work just add a pump later.0 -
You could also pipe the wet returns through the baseboard and this could act as you’re detailing.0
