Hi guy's, I have a solid fuel heating system fitted probably 20 years old, it is powered by a Parkray Chiltern solid fuel fire which feeds into a microbore heating system. I am moving a downstairs radiator across the room and need to pull back through the microbore pipe, extend it and feed back down to it's old position. Can anyone help ? What I am trying to find out is the following;
Can I join microbore pipe without any problems as I do not want to disturb the manifold which is situated upstairs between the ceiling/floor void.
Is there any procedure that I need to follow when draining and re-connecting and pulling the pipe back through or can I simply cut it and join the new section of pipe to the new radiator location as it is only this one downstairs radiators that I need to move.
The other problem I have which covers the madness part of the header is that as the system is pumped microbore I can never turn off the pump whilst the fire is on otherwise is boils within minutes of the pump going off, should this have been grayity fed ½inch system, madness or what ?
Thank's fellas.
