Can you helpful people please give me your opinion on the usual layout of the feed and return central heating pipes for a 2 storey house, 2 rooms upstairs (3 radiators) and 6 rooms downstairs (7 radiators).
I imagined that the feed and return central heating pipes would run as one continuous circuit from the boiler to serve all of the radiators, both upstairs & downstairs, and then back to the boiler. However, I understand that the upstairs is a circuit by itself and the downstairs is a separate circuit too. The pipes that serve upstairs tee off immediately by the boiler from the pipes that serve downstairs. Is this the normal layout?
The set up is a gas system condensing boiler controlled by two 2 port valves; one for the central heating and the other for the unvented hot water cylinder.
Thanks for your ideas.
