Im looking to fit a new vertical radiator in the kitchen.
Im looking to run some 15mm Hep20 under the suspended floor. I plan on doing it like so:
- Use a 10mm to 15mm coupler to attach the Copper 10mm to the 15mm Hep2O - this is on show above the floorboards but will be hidden by a new unit
- Take the Hep2O under the floorboards using the 10mm - 15mm couples and some angle joints if needed and then using some angle connectors bring the hep2o piping through 50mm from the wall (Drill a 20mm hole through floorboard and joist)
- Can the Hep2O pipe just lay on the floor underneath the suspended floor? Or will it need to be fixed somehow? The floorboards run the entire length of the kitchen and are nailed in so removing them is a pain.
- Will the pipe need to be insulated?
- What about rodents? Ive notice that I have mains cables running under the floor and they are not protected. We had a small issue with mice years ago but this has been solved (Touch wood)
- Do I just sack the hep2O off and get a plumber in to do it in copper? - money is very tight at the moment!
