Microbore??

[salem2000]

Hi All

Don't know much about the stuff. I have four radiators upstairs that are fed by 22mm to the first one (bathroom bypass) from there it runs in 15mm to the other three rads on wall surface. (15mm approx 8 mtr run)

What I would like to know is, would it be possible to replace the 15mm section with microbore, and how should I go about it, is it as simple as "flow and return"????

This would then alow me to run the pipework out of site, and improve the look of the rooms. The heating system is on a Combi-Boiler.


Thanks
Salem.

Who said I was in my right mind.

As I said I know nothing about microbore, and it was just an idea to hide the pipework. When it was installed the house was in turmoil, and with a new baby due, it had to be installed as quickly as possible, and was...

Back to the drawing board then. Don't even want to think about lifting the chipboard flooring.

Thanks for the warning

Could fit manifolds on the 22mm pipe and then use microbore to each rad individually.
