I have attached a picture of the proposed layout of a new install of rads.
Does any one know if this design will work ok the heavy lines are 22mm and thin lines 15mm.
I am worried if I will get enough flow to the ground floor large rads.
Any advice woulf be appreciated.
:confused:

Will be OK provided you use 22mm pipe for the downstairs part up to the 2 rads, not in 15mm as you have stated. May be fine in 15mm but best in 22
