Does anybody know what a "sensible" bend radius would be for 22mm Hep2o barrier pipe please ? I am having to reroute some CH pipe to clear a wall & after looking at all the different possibilities, I decided that it would be better to take the pipe directly down from the boiler, through the ground floor to rejoin up with the existing pipework, mainly to avoid having to rip up any of the 2nd bedroom floor.
The ground floor is approximately 12" from bottom of planks to the actual ground, would this be an OK radius to bend to ?
Also, I would have to cut & stop the existing 22mm pipe upstairs, to allow the upstairs rads to still be in cct, would this still be OK for the CH to work properly ? I've shown below basically what I'm proposing :-
The new tee into the pipework from the boiler is 1.75M ( more than the minimum recommended 1M I believe ) If anyone could tell me whether this is a workable plan I would appreciate it.
Thanks as always
