Hi all,
I am looking to install 10mm micro bore central heating copper pipes to a 22mm flow and return pipe. Its just to serve 4 rads. I have been searching the web for brass manifolds that will do a 22mm to 4 x 10mm and can only come up with a manifold that looks like a 22mm cap end with 10mm holes (please see link added). My question is how do I solder 10mm copper pipe into these holes? Do I first solder in short length branches before soldering on to the 22mm pipe? This would make it easier to get the pipes in. Any advice would be much appreciated.
