adding new radiator

[Paulboy]

we wish to add a new radiator. Is it possible to run the new radiator straight of the pipes that come out of the combi boiler?

 

[Lagerkhan]

Yes it is.

 

[corgiman]

as has been said yes

just dont cut the gas pipe or the hot/cold water supply

ill try not to lol, can u run microbore of 22mm pipe or do u need to go 22 mm - 15 mm - microbore?

 

[corgiman]

you can run mircobore FROM 22 ( i take it thats what you meant?)depending on length of run and how many rads you are going to supply

 

[Paulboy]

thanks, its just going to be one rad and the pipe would run for about 3.5 meters, i take it this distance is not to great?

 

[Paulboy]

if all the pipe work is being run behind kitchen base units is it worth just running 15 mm pipe?, am i correct in thinking that the would be enough clearance behind base units?

Yes

If the work will be hidden behind units I would suggest using Hep 2o pipe & fittings (plastic tube & pushfit connections) Easy, peasy etc.
