new rad on a microbore system

[FatGit]

Hi,

I need to fit a new rad to my existing microbore heating system. Can I just T it off from existing pipework to a rad or is something more complex required?

Ta.

Yep just tee off from any flow`return & make a nice new shiny rad

 

[FatGit]

oh.

I will get a plumber in then.

Ta.

BTW: Why do you have to connect to the manifold (wtf?) and not Tee of as normal?

You don`t Moron, in fact, yes, you do & you have to rip up your floorboards until you find the non existent manifold

What like this one?

What like this one?

yep, exactly like this one, but obviously with the motor head attached to the two port valve.

Note to all Divs, just because your heating & rads are fed in 10mm, doesn`t mean you will have a manifold. For F*ucks sake

YAWWN

but 9 times out of ten you will have a manifold

I'm leaving this job to a plumber. Sounds well above my abilities.

Thanks again.

System was changed to a combi and the valve head (already detached) was thrown away.


You should have seen the shower installation....

Really, when`s the last you installed a heating system? Nowadays one hit merchants fit the boiler & bang everything in 10mm. Not a manifold in sight. You may want to stifle that yawn.

I must say that it has been a while since I installed a system on a site that would allow this shabby installation practice.

and I would whack a micro bor system in with manifolds because I would be the one who has to return when is doesnt work (unlike the house bashers)

so forgive me if i dont stifle my yawn just yet bamber

PS

thanks for making me laugh out loud recently, you crack me up you do. you argumentative git you
