Hi guys
Im currently working on an outbuilding conversion to games/cinema room, and have a question before layout out the rad pipes for the combi boiler.

Below is a little diagram of the rooms and rads/boiler.

Ive read that the pipes from the boiler should be 22mm, and then bridging off into 15mm to the rads....as aposed to running 15mm all the way around and bridging off to the rads.

The building is a fairly simple layout, 2 very small utility rooms, and the 2 large rooms (5m x 6m each). Ill be having a small rad in each of the utility rooms, and 2 large rads in each of the large rooms....so 6 radiators total.

Would I be best to lay 2x 22mm (flow and return) all the way around, and just t-junction off to each radiator using 15mm? Or an alternative approach?

I must admit, I was all set to do the above, but my parents house (a bungalow) has nothing but 15mm....aside from 22mm coming off the boiler, and they have around 9 radiators...so its left me a little confused.

Any advice appreciated.
