Joining Two Radiators Together

[salem2000]

Hi All

The problem: Long radiator (approx 2.3 mtrs X 300mm) with no access to pipework under floor, due to flooring. At present cannot have new rad made. Flooring was only put down last year, so dont want to lift it.

I want to install 2 smaller rads, connected together in place of this one as its F***** (not very well). Would it be ok to connect "flow in" to the first rad, then "flow return" to second rad, and from second rad to "flow return" on exsisting pipework.

you will need 2 1/2"" bsp male iron to copper adapters

It might be better if you buy radiators with 1/2" tappings at both top and bottom.

If when the two rads are connected at the bottom, any problem temperature difference between the two rads occur, then try connecting by pipe at top and bottom. This might even it out .
