I have reworked/enlarged the WC replaced upstairs plumbing / added sink in wc / repositioned sink in bathroom /installed bath and taps etc. I used JG speedfit and a coil of the JG layflat PEX.
Anyhow, the WC does not have any heating and would benefit from a v.small towel rail radiator.
Directly accessible under the floor of the WC is the 22mm copper runs for the central heating. Boiler is a 3yr old Worcester combi. Boiler service man said it has capacity for more radiators.
I've never worked on central heating and am weighing up whether DIY is a good idea or not.
Can anyone let me know if this plan sounds ok? Am I missing anything?
1) turn off boiler
2) drain system
3) cut the 22mm pipe feed and return
4) add 2x 22mm to 15mm reducing tees
5) route the 15mm to the towel radiator
6) refill system / add inhibitor / bleed all rads etc until air out of system / at correct pressure
7) turn boiler on
Is is that "simple"?
How do I identify the 22mm feed vs return? Do I turn on heating and see what gets hot first?
I understand I may have to balance the system after.
Any glaring gaps or pitfalls?
Should I just pay someone who'll do it in half the time?
Cheers
