Hi, does it matter if I feed a into a radiator at the top and out the opposite bottom, is there much advantage?
Thanks.

Thanks, I’ve seen it somewhere recently and it looked more efficient.
In our toilet we need to replace the radiator, currently it has in and out in the bottom.
The problem being that the TRV is bottom right which is just to the left of the toilet. Due to having a small boy, it is often covered in wee!
So the plan was to install the TRV top right, hopefully he can’t reavh it up there!
Not sure if this is the right thread.
Anyone come across microbore size that's smaller than 10mm and slightly larger than 8mm.
Took off a rad and need to connect new valves. 10mm too big. 8mm too small
Is there 9mm microbore pipe?
How old is the pipework?
Old imperial 3/8” copper pipe is just slightly smaller in diameter to 10mm.
Didn’t think there was any of that stuff left. Learn something new every day.
I also never come across 3/8” pipe on heating systems. All 8 or 10mm but on systems installed mainly in mid 1970s onwards, so would be metric.
Oil pipes still around that are 3/8”.
Much harder copper than the 10mm and therefore easier to work with without risk of kinking it
There is some wacky refridgeration microbore which is imperialNot sure if this is the right thread.

...the rad gives slightly higher output if feed into top and out the bottom connections and actually the specified output is for that
