Hi all.
I am fairly confident with D.I.Y. but pretty much a novice when it comes to plumbing. I am planning to plumb in 3 new cast iron radiators but on a bit of a budget. So I am hoping to do the work myself.
I already have a central heating system in place, it is already run on 8mm micro-bore pipework. I live in a ground floor flat with 5 steel radiators in place. I am hoping to remove 3 of these steel radiators and pretty much replace with 3 of the new cast iron ones. I am confident at connecting new valves to fit the existing pipework.
The cast iron radiators are larger than my steel ones to be removed.
The new cast iron radiators are traditional 4 column sizes below
760 by 950 2.17kw 7410 BTU 15 sections
660 by 950 1.74kw 5952 BTU 15 sections
660 by 950 1.74kw 5952 BTU 15 sections
The boiler I have is a Worcester 28i, seems to be in good working order.
-Will the cast iron radiators work on my existing 8mm micro-bore pipe? As i didn't want to change the pipework.
-Will my boiler work with the cast iron radiators?
-How do I tell if I have a pump and how do I know if my pump is good enough to pump the water around the system?
Thanks
