Hi,
My central heating is is feed from a 22mm loop that has 10mm manifolds that branch off to the radiators.
I had a heated towel rail that had an electric element in it. I have taken the element out and connected the towel rail to the manifold.
Does it matter where the flow and return from the towel rail is connected to the Manifold.
The radiators on the manifold came out of the side heading towards the radiators and back in via the bottom of the Manifold. The Manifold has 18 outlets, six on each side and six on the bottom.
I have connected the towel rail to the side of the manifold where there was spaces (top right in photo).
The left hand pipe gets hot and this gets hot right up to the towel rail radiator valve but the radiator will not get hot and the return pipe back to the manifold is cold.
I have turned the rest of the radiators down to try to force it round but it doesn't want to flow around.
Does any body have any idea if these manifold have a flow and return or are they just hollow as I thought they are?
Any tips for getting the towel rail to work?
I have uploaded a photo of the manifold, never uploaded one before so I hope it works.
