Pipe Run

[asteyert]

The 22mm circulating pipes on my 30kw worchester boiler run from my garage through the loft of my bungalow for 12m down the kitchen wall for 3m then under the floor back towards the boiler for 8 m and end up just 4 m from the boiler . I am considering re plumbing these pipes and re feeding them from the other end . As it is the first radiator is 18m from the boiler the other way around the first radiator is only 4m this will reduce the run by 16m comments please

thanks

If it works fine thern why bother to disturb it and risk unforseen problems?

Best idea would be to heavily insulate the existing run. Reduce the heat loss from these pipes and leave them be.

if it ain't broke, fix it until it is. heating engineers need to earn a living too

That run would really bug me, I would have to change it.

The loft pipes are probably in the way of your loft conversion anyway?
