Microbore to a single rad

[crabbmare]

Could do with a couple of opinions on this one!

I have extended a downstairs room (with solid floor ) and need to reinstall the radiator (approx 2.5K). I have 15mm flow and returns , spurred off the main (22mm) flow and return drop to downstairs, and which feed no other rads. However I want to use microbore pipe to feed this rad, so I can conceal the pipework run (approx. 4m) behind skirting in the newly decorated room. - so my question is this: Can I connect microbore directly onto the 15 mm feeds or must I use a manifold, as used on microbore systems?

Any input and/or explanations regarding the above would be greatly appreciated!

Yep perfectly ok to just connect onto the 15mm

Probably wont give out 2.5kw of heat though

If im reading tables right it says 8mm will carry 2.48kw but don`t hold me to that
