Hello all,

I want to install a radiator in our lean to, as it doesn't have one and gets very cold in winter.

Trouble is nearest flow and return are 15mm pipe that already feeds two rads and won't cope with three.

So.. It's possible to run a new feed/flow from the airing cupboard to the rad but the return is under the floor, so not accessible.

Can I run the return from the new rad into the return for the other two rads?

I know it sounds odd but can't see any problems with this?

Thoughts?

Thanks.

What makes you think 15mm pipe can't feed 3 rads, how big are the 2 existing?
 
Without looking it up not sure, but they are doubles, they are the only two that struggle/are slow to heat up dispite balancing.

It's also possible that these rads are also fed off 15mm pipes feeding other rads...

hence my question.
