I might clarify one other thing. For ease of illustration of the
system the illisustration shows the return line returning across
the floor. Not necessary, just attach it to the ceiling back to
the heater. I do try to get a couple inches of fall in the return
line though and of course there is the fall from the ceiling down
to the heater at that end.
