Adding radiator to bedrooms

[Littlespark]

Long time no see….

A follow up to this rather old thread;

Thread 'Radiator not heating up as quickly as others?'
Radiator not heating up as quickly as others? | Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board | Plumbers Forums - https://www.plumberstalk.net/threads/radiator-not-heating-up-as-quickly-as-others.99456/

Where the problem was that I, as an uneducated cretin T’eed off 10mm micro bore heating pipe to add 2 radiators. Was told it was wrong, and should have gone back to manifold.
Fair do’s… I made a mistake.

Next years project in the house will be to reposition the bedroom radiator… which means this T off will be one rad less on the branch…. However, I want to hang the radiator on the other side of the bedroom, back to back with another bedrooms rad.
Is it daft to just T off the back? I know, I could end up with the same problem…. But it would be easier than piping back to the manifold.


I will also be changing the en suite bathroom radiator to a towel rail, with possible a built in electric element (do you guys rate than much?) and electric UFH

You can’t feed 10mm to two rads in parallel

You could try it in series providing the rads arnt bigger than 800mm

Eg system flow into one rad then out of that one eg return into the flow of the other rad and then the return of the second rad back to the system return

I take it I can’t do that when each rad has a TRV?

The manifold isn’t far away, as far as I can remember…. But it means lifting the hall carpet and gyproc floor.

The other bedroom is one of the kids rooms, and gets a lot of sun.
I might just remove hers and use the tails for my new radiator. She doesn’t need it… lol
