I want to tap into the central heating system to add a radiator downstairs. I can easily access the pipes upstairs. Couple of questions:
1. Is there any problem with tapping into upstairs central heating pipes to supply a radiator downstairs?
2. The pipes to tap into are plastic. I will be using a different brand of plastic pipe and fittings. Is it best to fit a brass compression fitting to tap in, then my plastic from there on, or can I just connect my plastic fittings straight to this pipe? Don't know if it helps but the existing pipe is grey and I will be using JG white speedfit.
