Hi ,
Hope someone can help me with this one please as a non plumber ??
I'm having an extension done on my house which means I will have to reroute the 15mm copper central heating pipes to a new bedroom upstairs. Is it ok for the central heating flow and return to go to an equal "T" and branch left and right from it, or is that frowned upon ??
I haven't got a clue about the more technical do's and don'ts with copper pipe, but wondered if the constant water pressure hitting the equal "T" could damage it, or wear it through ??
The reason I ask is that I was reading / watching YouTube vid's on how important it is to debur copper joints so that they don't create turbulence in the water flow and wear through and cause leaks. I would have thought the constant pressure of the water hitting the "T" then branching left and right could eventually wear the copper away ??
Any advice would be much appreciated
