Adding a radiator - can I tap into system one floor above?

Scorpion44 · 1 Jan 2010

Hi All,

I need to add a radiator to a bathroom on the second floor of my house, the only place I can connect to the existing system is from above on the third floor. Is this OK or will it present problems?

Additionally - on the third floor I can see the end points (plugged) of the 22mm pipes (and spurs off for the third floor radiators). Do I still need to tee-off these 22mm pipes or can I connect to the ends with a 15-22mm reducer?

Thanks

A drop will be ok, may need manual air vents on the high points though. Dont see why you cannot come off the end of the 22mm as you describe.
