Hi I need to add another radiator in my living room.
Can I tap into the bedroom system above the living room?
In the bedroom It's on 22mm then reduces to 15mm going to rad.
Would I just extend the 22mm down to living room or would I be better going down in 15mm?
Is it ok to run 2 rads of this one feed.
Would there be pressure and heatup issues?
Thanks Frizz.

Tee off the 22mm pipes, reduce down to 15mm to drop down to the rad.

You may have to fiddle with the balancing after.

Only other question is if your boiler can cope, which it should unless it's already underpowered.
 
Check your boiler can handle it and tee off 22mm then 15mm to rad
 
Ok cheers it's a baxi 105e instant currently it's running 7 rads in total. Only adding 1 more.
