I'm planning a new CH installation and I have one ground floor room that has a solid floor, and all its walls are traditional brick & plaster. I don't want to run surface mounted pipes to the radiator if I can help it, but I was wondering whether I could fit a radiator on an internal wall, back to back with another in the adjacent room (suspended timber floor). If I put a tee in the pipes rising from under the floor to the radiator valves, could I pass a short length of pipe horizontally through the wall, and then fit an elbow to bring the pipes up to the second radiator? The combined capacity of both radiators is 2.3kW and I'm using 15mm pipes to the individual radiators from 22mm main pipework.

That should be fine. Might need to balance the system to ensure both heat up but 2300w off 15mm pipe is ok.
 
yes as denso says should be ok but you will probably have to screw the lockshield down on the existing radiator to balance the two rads
