Attachment DeletedThe picture shows two added manifolds to the main flow and return as this was for a big extension on a house needing four more rads. Microbore is good stuff if used and installed properly as you can't just tee into the 10mm for a feed for another rad because of the small flow rate but if used right no problems.

This picture is where I started testing all my pipe runs as the chippys went through my pipe work 3 times and on site no one cares, you'll always be the one to blame if there is a leak even if its someone else's nail or screw through your work so always check it.  Attachment Deleted |

Looks an nice install there PB neat and tidy.
The house I live in has 10mm micro bore - gives no issues but I would of preferred 1/2 copper.
My pet hate with this micro bore is it has no give - kinks just looking at it when removing the rad for decorating,unless I'm just too rough.

hi pb, just wondering if it would be possible to tee into a microbore system to add one rad to the system or will I still have to add an additional manifold to the feed and return, cheers anthony

Hi Anthony, You can add another rad by teeing into the microbore but a lot will depend on what size rad it is already supplying, if its under 10,000 BTU's between the two you'll be fine. |

you don't need to put a manifold in for one rad just tee into the pipes before the manifold, at a pinch you can actually tee into the 10mm pipe if its only a small rad, the 10mm will deliver 10,000 btu's so if the rad is only a 5,000 btu rad you can tee another 5,000 rad on that circuit, |

I've fitted some big designer rads to an existing 10mm system for an extension thinks I should of used a manifold from the main flow and return
It's on an open vent system with a Glow-Worm 30hxi
Would pressurising it work ??
