Drainback with Baseboard [RE-wrenches]

[Dean Newbury]

<x-flowed>

Hi Jeremy,
I ususally put the baseboard on the boiler loop.
When designing a solar heated space it is better to use the Myson G 
series radiators. They have a temperature derating calculation so you 
can design with 120 or less water.
I have also run the hottest water through the baseboard and return it 
through the floor, but you need 160F or more to get the baseboard 
convectors to operate.

I don't understand your thought about bypassing the boiler?
