ADDITIONAL RADIATOR

[longdogs]

Hi

I would like to add a new small radiator to a cloakroom about six feet away from the nearest existing radiator. The floor is concrete and the house is chalet style which means it is impossible to get flow and return pipes coming into room from above or from below.

My question is: Is it feasible to connect the new rad to the flow and return pipe coming up from the floor to the existing rad? ie, teeing off just under the valves?

Many thanks.

It's not ideal, but it is feasible.
