Vertical rads

[jaydebruyne]

No problem really. If the customer says pipes can't be altered then you can't do it.
I just meant every large vertical rad seem to need to be taken off the 22mm if possible.
As long as it isn't done like one job I come across, - 4 large vertical rads and I think all off the one set of 15mm pipes all buried in screed. Builder job obviously and doesn't really work.

I'll see tomorrow.. could I not go up to 22 from the floor to underneath the rad and then back to 15, or would the bottleneck make it pointless? Most of the pipework will be hidden behind cabinets anyway

No, just ignore me, - I was only meaning try to pipe any new piped jobs with 15mm rad pipes coming off the 22mm main runs. 15mm will easily do one big rad. Just don't want to come off 15mm pipes that are already overloaded doing another rad or sometimes several.
I tend to pipe any large rads with 15mm teed each from directly 22mm anyhow.

Did it have a flow and return side?

No, all sides were identical just straight through with holes to the columns

Behind the fridge yeah straight through

Should of done the valves top bottom opposite ends else it could short circuit eg go straight down the return and doesn't matter

Ohhhhhh ok I didn't think of that.. just assumed it would push through the columns regardless...
