Hi, I'll give you some background to what's existing before I share my plans. 3 Bed Terrace with Combi. Recently moved in before the winter, The main living room is L shapped with patio doors to garden and another set off double doors leading to conservatory. The conservatory has two rads one of which didn't heat too well until I tweaked a few lockshields. A month ago I took out the existing radiator which was grossly undersized 400mm x 500mm and changed this out for a vertical 7200 BTU, i get good heat from this considering its a vert but does take a good while to A heat up & B Transfer the heat to the cold room to take the chill away.

Now the plans.... I have a theory but until I lift the laminate floors upstairs I cant yet confirm 100%. I reckon that off a 15mm single tee from the 22mm flow & return upstairs I have potentially 6 rads connected, Three off which I mentioned earlier. So this weekend I'm planning to re run new pipe for two rads earlier in the 22mm pipe run as one will be moved to a different wall anyway. So that leaves me Four left on the original Tee. This leaves the three mentioned earlier for downstairs which i cant remove and a bedroom rad which is quite big 1400mm x 500mm roughly. Can I Tee the bedroom rad of the original 15mm to create to help relieve the existing set up or should I Tee again straight off the 22mm and run another seperate 15mm inches parallel to the original to feed the single rad or would that tee on the 22mm be too close to the original tee and become counter productive?
