Hi,
I've installed piped underfloor heating in my kitchen extension and it will be eventually be connected to a manifold in the old kitchen that will become a utility room and a bathroom.
I won't be doing these until the new year so the floor remains unused. In the old kitchen is a radiator that is now not needed.
What I was wondering is whether I could connect the underfloor heating to the radiator pipework as part of the heating network in the interim. I know heated floors need to be run on their own supply and with their own timing but it would be better than nothing?
Will the central heating pump be able to cope with the load or can the floor only be run by a seperate pump? There will be no other radiator on the loop.
The boiler is only running a small house, four other average sized radiators to be precise. If the pump burns out, I do have a spare knocking about!
Thanks in advance
