I'm fitting a new Biasi Riva 26kw Condensing Combi Boiler (well the pros will fit the boiler, but I'm doing the plumbing) and have a couple of questions:
1 - CH will comprise 7 or 8 rads across 2 floors. My plan is 22mm in & out of boiler, 22mm equal Ts to LHS & RHS, manifolds at each end to split into 4 x 10mm, 10mm to & from rads. All horizontal pipework will be above 1st floor ceiling, so downstairs verical pipework will go down the walls and upsatirs verticals will go up the walls. I plan to put verticals in surface trunking for ease of access. Does that sound OK? Comments?
2 - I will need to fit a bypass valve as it will be all TRVs, but where? Immediately under the boiler?
3 - Boiler MIs state incoming mains connection should be 15mm. Is that big enough to cope with combi DHW? There will be a bath but no shower BTW. Current feed is 15mm so I'd prefer not to have to rip it out and replace will 22mm, but it just seemed small?
Thanks
