Mixing parallel and slinky loops

Hi,

I have a question regarding balancing loop lengths, in my installation, I have a 12 foot wide, 8 foot deep trench with 4 600' loops where the supply manifold is at the back corner of the house and the return manifold will be at the front (so there are only 4 pipes in the trench). Now my trench has several corners, meaning that the pipe that will be on the outside of the trench will be longer than the one that is on the inside. I was wondering if it would make sense to do some slinky loops at some points in the trench so all my loops would be the same lengths?

Thanks,

Kevin

 

Sure, water does not know if it runs in a slinky or a straight pipe. we have even combined slinkies and vertical loops.

 

Does not matter.

 

up to 10% difference in loop length is acceptable

 

Or just cross them over eachother at some midpoint in the loop so they all get to the end at the same time.
