The new microbore system I am putting in, fed from a Glow Worm 30 CXi combi, will supply the rads via 10mm speedfit pipes connected to manifolds.
As both upstairs and downstairs has traditional floorboards, I want to run the tails to the rad valves from the floorboard directly below each valve (as opposed to having the pipes coming out of the wall/skirting).
If I do this with the 10mm plastic pipe, it will look a bit rubbish having a length of thin plastic pipe coming up through the floor and going up to the valve.
Can I have angled 15mm valves, and run a short length of 15mm copper pipe from the valve downwards, to go through a hole in the floor, and join the 10mm plastic pipe under the floor? This will be neater, and make the rads look like normal rads on a 15mm circuit.
Will this work without affecting the performance of the rads?
