adding a radiator to the system. direction of flow??

[gavjbrown]

hi all, im adding a new radiator and radiator thermostat to our system.

but when i plumb the new pipes near to the old radiator how to i know what the direction of flow is

Buy bi-directional thermostaic valves and it won't make any difference, unless it's a one pipe system of course, but that is another problem

failling that start the system from cold

FLOW gets hot first

thanks guys. trouble is i already have the trv and it is not bi directional.

anyway when fitting the new radiator which is on the same wall do i just replicate the original one i.e same pipe to the same side of the radiator.

i felt the pipe from cold and one gets warmer first so i presume thats the inlet

thanks again
