how do I add a new radiator into my conservatory

[pastashell]

Im looking at putting a radiator in my conservatory ,the house it in 10 mm plastic how would I need to do this please

A) you shouldn't do it unless you also install a separate zone valve on the leg feeding the conservatory.
B) You'd need to run 2 new lengths of 10 or 15mm tube from the system manifolds to the conservatory -10mm plastic internal diameter is usually too small to run multiple radiators from.

Do not tee into 10mm for new rad it wont work as per above new feeds need running from manifold or before it

Building regs for not allow radiators in conservatories and haven't for several years, even with separate time & temperature controls. Get a split air conditioning unit

Oops- didn't realise that had changed

Changed in about 2011 / 2012 I think. Can't connect any space which hasn't been constructed to meet Part L to the same heating system as the rest of the dwelling, it must be a completely separate heat source. Conservatories (generally) don't meet Part L and so can't be connected.

Ahh. Last conservatory I was involved with was in about 2009. Ta
