I'm doing a garage conversion and need a new radiator in the new room. The most accessible/convenient pipes I have found are 10mm feeding a space saving plinth heater.
I know that the best solution is to tee off the main feed from the boiler as running 2 rads from a 10mm supply could give poor performance. However, I would be running 1 radiator and 1 of these space saver things. Would that still be a problem? - my logic is that the water capacity/volume requirements of a space saver is a lot less than a radiator. I also rarely switch the space saver on (just a fan I assume that blows over metal fins that are heated by the hot water I guess).
So if the hot water flowed through the space saver (not switched on) then to my new radiator, would my radiator still give decent heat?
If it comes to it - I'll just disconnect the space saver but wondered if I could get away with having both on the same feed of 10mm pipe
