Extending Central Heating

[Hardley]

Hi All,
I want to put an additional radiator in my lounge room.
Question is; where the existing radiator pipes turn 90* into both valves on the radiator, via solder elbows, can I replace the elbows with “T” connectors and then continue with new pipe to the new radiator?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, but it would be better if the new rad had it's own connection to flow/return (assuming not a single pipe system)

under most situations it will be fine. as low as its not piggy backing loads of rads already

Thank you both for your reply, I was pretty sure I could do this, but wanted reassurance.
