I'm using rad manifolds on a my dorma-bungalow house.
8 rads, 6 downstairs and 2 upstairs.
I want to put in 4 x 4 port (10mm) manifolds off the 22mm CH feed/return.
It would be easier for me to install the 2nd set of 4 port manifolds downstairs and run 2 pairs of 10mm upstairs.
The rads upstairs are :-
1KW (8m length (4m feed, 4m return)
1.8 KW (16m length (8m feed, 8m return)
Is this going to restrict the flow upstairs, will it be a pig to balance the system. Should I just 15mm/22mm upstairs instead and then reduce down. I've looked at some calculation but i'm struggling.
Any help appreciated
