microbore

[cjp]

I have just bought a new house and the two front reception rooms have no rads. We want to install some but the system is Microbore. I am used to a different system. What will I need to do to install 2 new rads? Will I have to go back to the manifold to install 2 feeds and returns? I need some advise please.
how does microbore work? is it any different to other systems apart from the pipe diameter?

cheers

its better to run from the manifold as u will get better peormance from the new rads.
the alternative is to extend an existing run/rad but it will be slower to warm up as it has to travel further in the small bore.
yes its the same as 22/15 mm pipe size but smaller bore.
the smaller bore can block easier but well maintained should be fine.
