I am currently renovating my home and installing a new heating system. The house is on a slab and the plumber is installing all the new baseboard pipes up through the walls and through the ceiling. He did not want to chop out the concrete floors to go under doors.
The house is 1000 sq. ft. and the pipes go up and than back down four times on one zone.
I was told this could be a problem with getting air in the heating pipes, is this true, if so what is the rule of thumb for vertical rise to horizontal run?
Thanks,
Greg

Make absolutely sure it is installed in the "pumping away" manner. Use a good air eliminator like Sparco or Spirovent.
