Having new boiler fitted - the central heating flow and return is 22mm pipe. These pipes seem to step down to 15mm before reaching the radiators and obviously step back up on the return.
Is this done for a reason? I noticed one radiator has the 22mm step down right at the thermostatic valve, is this normal?
Obviously you can't reliably run radiators on 22mm pipe or so I think, so why do boilers come with larger diameter that has to step down shortly after leaving the boiler?
