Hi i wish to add a Radiator to my system, it only has 6 on it at the moment so it will take it as said by the plumber it will take at least 15. Now i know a little basics.
It's a combi boiler
Now i know you need to cut into the 22mm pipe with 15mm on the flow (hot first) and return and then feed that on the correct vaules on the new rad. Now the whole system is copper can i use plastic pipes and connectors or would it be best to get solder and use copper? Also heard compression joints are very good aswell, but what pipes are used with this?
I'm right in thinking that i need to flush the system first or is there a way i can get around this?
I'm gonna do alot of reading before i go at this but wanna cover everything before i start.
Many thanks for any help offered.
Also looked for a refrence on this and there is not one, is there?
sorry for all the questions
