Max Radiators with microbore pipework

[sg86]

Hi all,

I'm not sure if pipeworks makes a difference to this, but i assume the flow will be different so may make an effect. Essentially i am looking to add more radiators to an existing installation (converting a garage into two rooms).

Currently we have 15 rads, and the boiler is a British Gas 330+. Pipework i believe is 10mm (could be 8 though). There is a pump in the airing cupboard, pipework to the boiler from here seems to be 28mm, i really have no idea where the microbore joints are or how that would be done!

Any advice appreciated!

Do not tee into the 8/10mm pipework. You need to find the manifolds and run new flow and returns or tee off the mains with 15mm and run that to new rads.

So plumbing isn't done in a ring and I can't just extend from two rads or something? How would i know one way or the other?

no its not a ring if you run in and out of rads turning one of will stop the circulation to all of them in electrical terms the are run in parralel
