10mm to 15mm

[bertiewoost]

Hi!!

I wish to fit a new radiator in the bathroom,

we have always made do with a wall mounted fan heater, but the other half wants us to come into the 21st century,

the existing system is piped in 10mm micro-bore, the nearest pipework is in an adjacent bedroom about a metre away

Is it ok to branch off in 15mm to the new radiator??javascript:emoticon('')

the reason i ask is that there are more choices of radiator valves in 15mm.

Thanks!

Not ideal but shouldn't be a problem as I assume the bathroom rad will be relatively small so shouldn't require much heating.

You can use reducing snap olives which allows 15mm valves to take 10mm pipe.
