2 pipe compared to Monoflo tee
I am spliting up a one zone system in a very large house and am constantly coming up with interesting questions. All comments appreciated.
I am piping 3 cast iron radiators and have options for system type.
All things being equal, will a 1 inch monoflo tee piped system have the same temperature at the end of the return line as a 1 inch 2 pipe reverse return system?

What kind of boiler is this for? How is it piped now?

I plan on installing 2 or 3 staged Burnham or Buderus boilers. More than likely non condensing.
I am in the middle of setting up a primary secondary system with over 8 zones. Right now there are over 30 radiators on one zone.
I recently added 2 sections to the house with radiant heat.

The house is currently heated with 2 seperate boilers, one is a 300k btu 2 pipe hot water that heats 24 radiators and the other is a 150k btu steam that heats 6 radiators.
I want to do away with the steam boiler and connect those 6 radiators to a new p/s system I am considering that runs off 2 or maybe 3 smaller boilers adding up to about 300k btu.
