Central heating flow in to a tee

[Fallout]

Is it ok the have the central heating flow coming off the boiler the flowing in to a tee, with the branch of the tee facing the boiler. With the two legs of the tee going off to put up all the rads on the system.

 

[petit_pablo]

Yes

 

[stardanny]

It will be fine.

Daniel.

 

[Phill Peck]

Whoaa hold on that could cause the worlds end

 

[dilalio]

Well, as long as it couples back up to the return, on both "legs", it'll be fine

 

[Fallout]

I has just abit worried would cause poor flow

 

[Madrab]

Where does each branch go and is it zoned?

 

[Fallout]

One branch to one rad. The over to the rest of the system not zoned.no.

 

[Madrab]

No issues there then.

 

[Fallout]

Thanks was just worried about flow when it hits the tee and splits both Ways

Like electricity, water takes the path of least resistance so the resistance created by one rad off of the primary flow will force most of the flow to take the route off to the rest of the house! There will be an equation that can prove this but I am not a physicist

I was wondering if I would ever get the opertunity to bring out the good old Darcy-Weisbach equation

My life is now complete!

So. It wont just.short circuit.around the one rad?

That's where balancing the system comes into play
