Is it difficult to add another radiator to my combi system? I want to put another rad on the landing as it gets quite cold at night. The pipework seems to run from the bathroom to the small bedroom, which are directly opposite each other. The floor gets warm when the heating is on so i guess the pipework must run across the landing.The boiler already has an external red pressure vessel attached to it, i was told this was so other rads could be fitted. I would be looking at having a 5ft x 2ft single rad installed on the stairs wall as thats the largest that will fit. The combi is a Sime Friendly if it makes any difference.

if you take the carpet up the boards will have been lifted where the pipes are (probably)

How do i know which pipe goes to which bit of the rad? I dont want to T into one pipe to find out that if i turn off the one rad it stops the water flow to the rest of the system.
you will or should have two pipes
one flow one return
don't matter which goes where just dont put both tees into the same one

So one end onto one pipe and the other end to the other pipe. Sounds easy enough.
