My first post, so please be gentle with me.
I need to balance my brothers rads. He has a combi downstairs, and the flow and return pipes go into the ceiling above boiler (22mm then 15mm pipes).
These pipes then either drop down through ceiling for downstairs rads, or come through the floorboards for the upstairs rads. There are 11 rads in total.
Now, I've read the FAQs re. balancing, and armed with my clip on thermometers, I realise I need to start with the nearest rad to the boiler and work towards the furthest rad. As all the pipework is hidden in the floorspace with only the tails dropping down or up to the rads, how do I know which order the rads are in (ie. nearest to furthest)?
Is there any easy way to find out the radiator sequence, Poss using the thermometers?
Many thanks in advance.
