    Default Hydronic Piping

    would it be advantageous to use the Two Pipe Reverse Return loop for 1000+/- sqf apartment that I am renovating or shall I stay with the Monoflow Loop
    propane
    baseboard http://www.smithsenvironmental.com/html/he.html (any opinions about this)

    Thank you

    It's good stuff, expensive but effective. I'm not a fan of either reverse return or monoflow. both are restrictive and require much larger piping to carry the load. Larger piping means larger pumps and more electricity to run them as well as larger pipe that should be insulated because it will loose heat faster than smaller pipe.
    Perception is 3/4 of reality

    Thank you for the input, do you have any other thoughts in the matter what would you use?
