heating in conservatorys

[Thermo]

I understand that ch rads can be fitted in a conservatory provided they can be isolated from the rest of the hous. Does anyone know exactly what has to be done to comply with the regs? ie does the circuit in the conservatory have to be capable of being isolated or is it each rad etc

cheers

all we do is put a pair of gate valves in and fit a drain point

 

[Thermo]

where do you put the gate valves? Let me be a bit more clear. My flow is in 22mm till it reaches the conservatory changes to 15mm. The last rad is in the conservatory and so the return comes back into the house and changes to 22mm. Do i need to put a gate valve on the flow and return in the house just before it crosses the threshold? Do i need a pipe to go across the two with another valve that could be opened if the conservatory was shut off to maintain the circuit?

cheers

put the valves inside the main building
unless your on a 1 pipe system you dont need another valve
