Thanks Andy/Cicero for your help on that one - looks like next weekends
project is a towel radiator then!

One more question - will there be any problems with connecting the radiator
to my system?

Are there any differences with using the Towel Rad. with microbore over 15mm
plumbing?

CM.


It should be OK unless you have a very high output one (although I
have never seen a towel radiator with high output).

As a rule of thumb, with 8mm tube over typical lengths in a house of
say 4-5m from the manifold or other connection to the main flow and
return, you can get about 1.5kW worth of water flow.
With 10mm, it's about 2.5kW.

So unless you have really long runs, you should be OK. You may have
to play with the lockshield valve.

Don't forget the inhibitor :-)
