Moving a radiator

[malcolmh]

I wish to move a radiator 10'-0" onto another wall. Can I just extend the existing feed pipes to the radiator or do I have to re-route the mains and return flow to pass under the radiator before branching to the radiator.

You can extend the 15mm pipes if you are happy to have them on show but the neater way (but more work involved) is if you can extend the flow and return under the floorboards (i'm assuming it is upstairs)

I intend to run under floorboards, it just means breaking into flow and return. Will the radiators still function OK if I just extend the existing pipes.

You shouldn't have any problem extending the pipes (as I wrote last post).
However do check the 15mm supply to the rad is not feeding any other rads. As a guide 15mm pipes (branched off the main 22mm should serve a max of 3 rads
