Looking for some advice . I have a new, long run to feed a cast iron radiator . I have extra monoflow ''t's '', should I install two ? One backwards at the feed, and one correctly at the return ?
I want a good push and pull for this long run. The main is 1 1/4'' , the branch will be 3/4'' .
Thanks Dave

Usually there are multiple radiators.

It's could be that I'm not explaining this correctly .
This is a tap to be added onto an existing monoflo system.
The ''t'' will be an additional new radiator feed .
One ''t'' for supply, one for return .

This is how I did all of my Rads. You should only need two if your dropping below the loop, like a basement.

Thanks for the input guys .
I went with a 007 circulator just to be on the safe side. My friend Dave was not cofidant about such a long run only relying on a monoflo ''t'' .
The other two new radiator feeds got piped in with only monoflo ''t'' s , but they are short runs.
Part of me wanted to try the double monoflow ''t'' s on that long loop, only because its so simple. But it's too much work to cut it all in and then have it perform poorly .

Rob, yes I cut in two 1 1/4 x 3/4 ''t'' s into the main and put a 007 on that long branch.
It's very tight where they had to be cut in, but I was able to separate the ''t'' s by 3' .
