Have you got any
spare tappings on the manifolds


Hi SS

Nope - the manifold is not like the one upstairs - the end of the feed
pipe from the boiler ends in what looks like a load of 'tentacles' -
which just spout straight from the end of the pipe.

Ah, one of those. It's still a manifold.

I like the idea of the 22mm into 8mm though - but that would be in the
pipe before the manifold/tentacle split - suppose it should be OK. I
think, depending on flow, 8mm pipe can supply 4kw - and this is far
more than the two rads that would be on the pipe.

I can't find any 22mm/8mm tees - so might have to go 22mm to 15mm then
down to 8mm....

That would be a way.

If you think you might add more radiators later, it would be better to
purchase a slightly different type of manifold which comes with
blanking plugs. Attach this to the existing 22mm feed using a
22x22x22 tee.



Thanks for your help

Simon
