Hi all
Plumbers are hard to get hold of at the moment and they don't see to want to commit to a job so forced into doing this myself
I have three new radiators to hang 2 are in new positions to free up wall space and one is almost the same position
Its just a query around pipe sizing - at the moment there are 22mmm flow and return coming down the wall from upstairs and then there is a reducer and then everything is in 15mm downstairs I would say
I asked a plumber that came around the other day and he said 15mm is fine - its been in donkeys years so I suppose it wont make much difference - due to the position of the new rads changing though there will be extra runs of 15mm pipe (1930s semi house) so its not a massive area - what do you think I should do - change all to 22mm and then just have 15mm tails coming off to rads???
Boiler is 32KW supplying 7 rads (4 upstairs and 3 downstairs (taken 1 out totally so only three left downstairs) and underfloor heating which has just gone in in extension
