Hello,
I am currently installing a new central heating system in my house, there is not currently a central heating system installed.
I have a combination boiler on the ground floor and will be using a two pipe radiator circuit serving radiators in the ground and first floors.
My question is...I have two potential layouts but I don't know which is best. Does it matter if the pipe riser to the first floor is at the start of the circuit or in the middle or at the end? Does this affect the performance of the pump in the boiler?
Option 1 - circuit serves ground floor radiators then rises to first floor to do the first floor radiators.
Option 2 - circuit rises to the first floor and serves the first floor radiators then drops to the ground floor and serves the ground floor radiators.
I reckon the pipe lengths will be similar for both options.
Any help or advice appreciated.
Neil
