I am fitting a new radiator in place of an old one. All the others have 10mm feeds but for some reason this has 8mm, so I have two 8mm capped ends to connect my new radiator to.
I am struggling to get 8mm valves. B&Q are sold out and my local merchant, who is a lot cheaper has 10mm but with an adaptor to drop it to 8 (which I would prefer not to use).
I have some 10mm pipe spare and a bender etc so i would like to use 10mm. I know nothing about the principles of liquid flow so would there be any detrimental effect from using a reducer (the opposite way round) to go up from 8 to 10mm. Would it affect the heating effect at all?
