Hello, I have searched for an answer in the Wiki but can seem to find a topic to cover it - hopefully someone can put me straight?
We are having an extension built that will include 3 new radiators. The boiler and pump are up to the task of supplying the new rads but the question I have is about the pipe configurations.
Is it OK to just tee into the current 22mm flow and return pipes to serve these three rads or should I try to locate the first and last rad on the existing circuit thus creating a 'proper' circuit with a beginning and an end?
This diagram suggests that just teeing into the 22mm flow & return is OK (pretend if you like that the ground floor is my new extension). In my head though, I imagine the flow just bypassing the 'teed' off part - leaving cold rads.
This diagram (excuse the shoddy editing), to me, represents to correct way. Am I worrying needlessly?
Cheers

The right way??
