Hello all.
As per usual, there seems to be lots of conflicting advice on the net, so I need some direction from the pros!
Would you suggest I run 1 or 2 rads maybe without TRVs, or would it be acceptable to run all the rads (including towel rads) with a TRV and then for an automatic bypass?

Cheers everyone
Alex

Edit: intergas eco rf24 and joule 250l twin coil tank if it matters.

The rad in the room where the heating thermostat is shouldn't have a TRV on it- you could get loads of fun with the system chasing its tail that way. Me I'd have the towel rail not on a TRV as well.
 
On our boilers 10% of the boiler minimum heating load must be served by an uncontrolled rad fitted with a boiler interlock(room stat).
Your system has 2 or more zones so would need an auto bypass before zone valves tee off (if that boiler has a pump overrun?)

Thanks for that bud.
I'm looking at the Honeywell du144 valve. Any known problems with it?
So automatic bypass and a rad without TRV? Have I read that right?
