Greetings!
So I have a log burner with a built in back burner. Hear is what I bough https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115981134053
I would like to run a central heating system with radiators piped up to it. First I would like to do only one radiator/ room with it, but then more on afterwoods
I am wondering how I would plumb this up? Is it as straight forward as running 2 pipes from the boiler to the radiator on a loop system with a pump in the middle? (no header tank)
If so then
1. Is the bottom of the boiler pipe the inlet and the top of the boiler pipe the out let?
2. Is the bottom of the radiator ports the inlet and the top of the radiator ports the out let?
3. Should the pump be on the bottom of the system or the top?
4. How much flow ratio should the pump produce for a standard 15mm pipe?
5. Dose it all need to be copper pipe used or can some of it be PVC? (radiator and boiler 14' 6" appart)
Thanks
PS there is no other boilers or heaters in the system or on site!
