I havent seen hep 2o but it looks like the pex pipe I can get

What size drops? 1/2 or bigger

 

[ShaunCorbs]

1/2 for one to two rads any more need a drop each

 

[king of pipes]

As shaun says no more than 2 rads on one set of 15mm drops what sort of fittings are you using on the pipe ?

I was just thinking one drop per rad
But that good to see I have an option to do two
Compression are the most common used on this pipe

Maybe you should offer to pay someone to do a proper pipe design for you.

Or maybe you should go to a supplier that offers to do a pipe design for you if you buy their equipment.

It's obvious that you have no experience in designing a heating system and you want someone to design it for you - for free.

You want to install it yourself --- what's in it for anyone that offers you help?

I hope the free advice you get - you will be able to litigate against someone if it all goes wrong.

There's more to designing a heating system than assuming 22mm mains and 15mm drops - even if they can be split into 2.

This is a Plumbers Forum - not a free heating / hydraulics design forum.

There's plenty of experience here & most offer it for nothing.

If your lucks up, you will get someone to size, design and virtually install your system for you.

All the best

Thanks for the input some good points iv been on to a few plumbers one quoted 7 grand a bit on the high side and the others
Said to busy for a small job . I was just hoping to close up more of the house over the long weekend we have here. Waiting one lad to get back to me hopefully he works out.


Iv help poeple out online in my trade lots of times and never though about what's in it for me. Bad way to think on a forum.

A full heating system is too small a job?
