i am wanting to fit an additional radiator (400mm x 500mm)to my new small extension/porch (3m x 2m) my nearest radiator is approx 1.5m away.
do i T into both pipes or
create a loop system from 1 rad to next
or is the only way to do this by locating my capillary unit (if i have one) and running all new pipe.
i am on a baxi duo-tec he40 combi and 10mm pipes

i assume by "capillary unit" you mean manifolds.
& the answer is yes its best to run them back to the manifolds.
 
yes manifold
i have had a lot of the floor boards up upstairs and havnt seen a manifold anywhere
is it actually possible and efficiant to T in to existing though because when i have spoken to various people i have recieved mixed opinions
thanks
