    Yes you can! In fact, that's how the principle of Primary/Secondary piping came into this world. You can read about that in some of Dan's books.

    Just size the pump for your connected baseboard run, and have it pump away from the Monoflo main on the loop's supply line.

    But, out of curiosity...has this ever worked properly? Was it added to the system?

    red stripes

    If you are going to try using 2 monoflows, make sure the red stripes are facing each other.
