Hi fast question. I am reinstalling a 8 foot long (5 sections) - 7 inch tall base ray cast iron baseboard after a kitchen renovation. (non steam)
Problem: drilling into the floor for the water exit pipe on the left side will be almost impossible, due to floor joists, and rim joists.
Although i see that the ends of each section does have a meeting point where the top piping of the baseboard would allow water to transfer to the lower piping.
Question: Can i connect the left side of the baseboard top and bottom pipe to each other, and on the right side of the bb, plumb my inlet into the lower pipe, and then plumb the upper pipe as the exit?
i assume it WOULD work IF each section completely kept the upper and lower pipe separate. Thereby allowing me to make a real loop. But it seems from the back of the BB it isnt 100% separate.
I planned on cutting out the section of the extra rim joist , but it will take a lot of work becuase of the space to work in. So i was hoping the loop might be feasible?
Thanks
