You're asking us to do your homework for you

Look at the honeywell site, plenty of stuff there that will help. I haven't given you the link because you need to do some work yourself.

What are you going to do when you have to do this for real?

Mabe look on honywell web site under y plan,mid position valve. no need 4 a bypass if you go with y plan as long as 1 rad has no trv

That depends on the boiler instructions!!! Following is an excerpt from one set of boiler instructions

Therefore a by-pass must be fitted
to the system (15 mm min) (Fig. 6A).
If the volume of circulating water is too low,
the boiler water temperature will rise too
rapidly. This could cause noise in the system
or even cause the safety thermostat to trip.

Basically a set of boiler instructions is a good place to start as there are drawings there you could borrow or adapt. Most of the manufacturers have instructions that you could download from their web-sites. This applies for other plumbing items such as showers.

I wont do your homework for you either but will give you credit for knowing where to ask about it and hope you find the above pointers useful
