Kickspace Heater.

A friend is having a new kitchen installation and during this he wants a radiator removed but wants some form of heat in the kitchen. The only option is a kick space heater running off his CH system. Now I have never installed one of these so was just wondering what advice you can give me, I do have an idea what I would like to do.

He has a combi system with microbore pipework. I intend to=
Drain heating system, Remove rad, increase pipework from 8(10)>15mm
run two lenghts under the units with flexi's to connect onto the heater (built in iso valves on these).

Kitchen will be fitted over these already placed pipework, kickspace heater installed onto flexis and pushed back in location under the units. Can you see any problems or a better way of installing this?.

Your proposal sounds fine providing you are sure that flow to existing rad is ok.If existing rad has no flow faults then it should work.You say 2 lengths and I assume 3 metres.The system may require balancing after installation is completed.

Sorry Its not 2 lenghts should really have put 2 stabs around 15-20" tbh. its basically in the same area just moved from the wall to the floor.

Thank you for the input 45yearsagasman much appreciated.

which isolation valves do ya plan on using? some are prone to leaking wen used on central heating. id also recommend using a couple of john guest push fit connectors, they are easier to fit n remove

i fitted a load of them a good few yrs ago, basically we were doing the same as you, a kitchen refurb contract, and retaining the existing rad wasnt an option, TBH i dont think they are as good as a radiator but needs must and they work fairly well, the downside is you need power to run the fan and there is a slight noise when on (due to the fan) but certainly better than nothing
