Hi, Im looking at installing a couple of extra rads in my house (about 5000btu each) The central heating system is a drop system (upstairs ring main, then 3 drops to the downstairs rads) Question is, I was looking at tying into the upstairs ring and then doing a fourth drop for the two extra rads. Would it be best to use 22mm or 15mm pipe for the drop? Many thanks in advance

15mm will be ok for the drops if taken from 22mm upstairs circuit

If its a straight drop ( not meters and meters away) you could even use microbore ;)
