Balancing the radiators

[OptimalKiller]

Hi folks,

Just a quick question I have a condensing combi boiler with trv on radiators a part from 1. anyway been searching the forums about balancing radiators which has been very useful. However here's my question.

I know there needs to be an 20F or 11C drop between the return and inlet pipe, So I assume the inlet has to be hotter than the return pipe. however will it matter if both pipes have the same tempature both inlet and return pipe. Also what happens if I can only get a 10F difference between the pipes. will it matter.

Thanks in advance

The temp difference is a guide. You could spend a good while trying to balance the rads to perfection. Follow the sensible postings on this site and you can't go far wrong.

Thanks for the advice all rads are now balanced and working.
