We have a basement/1st floor steam system with steel piping. Someone added a back porch and installed electric baseboards. We will open up the porch to the house by removing the wall (two steam radiators will be removed with the wall). We would then like to replace the electric baseboards with steam radiators, by extending from the steel branch connections out to the porch area. We will provide the slope required, but is soldered copper acceptable. The extensions will only be about 15 ft. The main condensate return from the main header is steel. Advise anyone??
