Radiator fed from upstairs
 

Would there be any problems installing a downstairs radiator fed with pipes
from the floor above?

It's run from a vented back boiler with CH pump.

Thanks, Bart

Fairly standard practice when ground floor is concrete - done it in my
garage workshop with no problems.

No, it's quite common.

You just need to be sure that the pipework can take the extra flow -
chances are that unless you are adding a huge rad to an already well
loaded circuit that all will be fine. Personally I would add a drain
point on this rad to help with future servicing - otherwise there will
be a lot of water to catch if you ever need to remove the radiator.

Very common. As the rad bleed valve can't vent the pipework, not being at
the highest point, just ensure that all pipework can be vented upwards and
you're fine. Unless badly designed, the preexisting pipework should already
be vented, either via the boiler vent, or through manual or automatic bleed
valves. If you are adding new pipework, ensure that there is some venting
mechanism in place, i.e. any air will rise to a bleed valve or open pipe
end.
