adding a radiator

[cazmick]

Hello.
Have almost finished lagging and boarding out my loft, which after all the work and added insulation is still very cold, in-fact not much warmer then it was before i started.

Question.
Could i fit an additional radiator up there from the Central heating system which is in a room beneath the loft, would the pump push water up above the boiler OK? or would it create a problem??? Thanks for any info.

Sorry Kev, do you need more info?? if so what do you need to know and i will try and find out tomorrow. This is at my mums home so i don't know offhand what make/model etc the C/H is.

Thanks for the speedy feedback.

is it open vent or pressurised

if open vent where is the head tank

Kev, i honestly don't know anything much about it, but there is NO tank, well at least not a separate one, so i guess it must be a pressurised unit.

if it's a pressurised system you should be able to put another rad on

Kev, I will get some info tomorrow all about the system, and post again once i know.

no probs mate

Hi Kev.
The name of the system in question, is a VALLIANT, fitted on behalf of the council when the property once belonged to them.

Looking for the manuals for more info.
