Hi all:
I'm replacing a 60 year old copper/monoflow system with PEX, and am considering a strait through loop. I could use some advice.
The heating is for the first floor, 1 zone, about 750 sq. ft. I plan to branch off from a common 1 inch PEX feed into two 3/4 inch loops of approx. same size. The baseboard is Hi output slantfin (80) with 3/4 inch copper. Strait thru is so much simpler than monoflow, but are their disadvantages with strait thru? Why was monoflow even used in the first place? Am I doing the right thing??
Also, do I need bleeders in a strait thru loop? (I will put shutoff valves in each zone)
Regards, Peter
