Hi all
I have installed 4 new rads in an extension at home with 22mm copper flow and returns with 4 port manifolds on each end. (speedfit and 10mm barrier pipe on new rads) the 22mm copper is not yet connected to the existing heating system.The current system i have is fully pumped y plan with combined open vent and cold feed with air sep. I presume i can connect the 22mm flow to the CH side of the y plan? The return though is where i need help. i know i cant connect to cylinder return as this needs to be the last connection before the boiler(reverse circulation i think if not) the return off the cylinder is 15 mm as far as i can see with limited view. could i connect the new flow and return side by side on the existing flow ? would that work or am i needing to get floors up near rads to find the return? any suggestions greatly recieved.
Cheers
