Hi
Ive read a lot on the net on possible locations to connect a power flush machine for my central heating and have decided its best to connect it directly to the supply and return 22mm pipes from the combo boiler as the pipes to and from the rads are all 10mm micro bore.
I don't really have blocked radiators or pipes, everything heats up really well. only thing is my diverter valve keeps clogging up every few months. so I want t do a power flush myself.
Now the boiler is in the loft (bungalow) and the supply and return come straight down and are easily accessible via the airing cupboard on ground floor, before they terminate into many 10mm pipes underground to all rads.
I am thinking of cutting these supply and return 22mm pipes and putting some sort of T compression joints so i can connect the pro flush machine from HSS.
But I am right in thinking a normal T won't be good as the water will be pushed both upwards and downwards along the pipe by the machine?
any help or advice on the right type of compression joints to add will be much appreciated.
P.S. I don't really want to connect the machine by detaching the boiler pump as 1) i don't like messing too much with my boiler and 2) its in the loft so makes it a lot riskier if water gushes everywhere.
Thanks
