New radiator on one pipe system, is this ok?

[emphasis303]

Lol no 10 downing street

Make it out to a Mr D Cameron

Can I be that someone Doitall? , oh go on.

Ok give that man the banana.

 

[chris1337]

it wasnt a serious suggestion that he put a secondary pump on the rad loop...

but u could , and if you did , youd connect to the primary loop with.... 'closely spaced tees'

somebody els mentioned 'closely spaced tees'

my point was more that these actually do have a useful purpose sometimes and that is similar to a llh

'Closely spaced tees' are used on a LLH/ring in order to avoid any nuisance circulation through the secondary heating/HW circuits when demand is not called for , due to the low resistance between the two tees header/ring pumps will have no influence with regard to flow through these circuits , huge savings can be made with regard to zone valves not being required................I would imagine fitting a pump above the floor under the rad would be a bit of an eye sore.

So how will a pump work here then?

 

[gaswizzard]

He was talking about using a circulator coupled with closely spaced tees.

He was talking about using a circulator coupled with closely spaced tees.

With a check valve between them.

Of course.

Ok so the new piping has been done, the pipe run from the main circuit is about 1.5 meters! So I think plenty of space.

The pipe with the end cap was the original connection but has now been capped, the distance from the feed was about 20cm.

I don't think I'm gonna like this.

Where's the other end and the bit in the middle.

 

[emphasis303]

Well the other end goes to the original tee but as its disconnected its been capped.

The other end of the new connection is more than a meter away from the tee out of the ring.

I take it if I were to isometrically rotate that image 90degrees it would make sense?

The context is hard to gather from that though bud.

 

[doitall]

This is what it should look like.

Yep it's just like the image, except that the left feed has an extra bit of copper with an end cap now.

Your pic is nothing like mine.

There's no link pipe under the radiator.

or if you are saying you have teed off the main run and dropped the pipe to the rad you should read my post again.

Best thing you can do before you go any further is post a line drawing showing what you had in mind.
