Can I parallel radiators up ?

[beaufontboy]

Hi Folks, Quick question if I may, we have just had a downstairs loo
fitted and the wife wants a rad in there, on the other side of the wall in the kitchen there is a small radiator already, could i just connect off this one and effectively have them in parallel with each other ? The pipe is 10 mm, running off a worcester combi , Thanks ! Stuart

10mm is always a little bit more risky, but as long as its only a small one you should be fine. May need a bit of balancing of the system afterwards.

microbore doesn't tee well, I'd be looking to go back to a manifold or find a 15 or 22mm pipe if you have any.

Great, thanks , it is only small, cheers

Not only could you, rads should always be parallel, unless close together in one room.

I think he means back-to-back rather than parallel...
