Hi, new member here, so hello! I recently bought a house that needs heaps of work, so have no money and lots to learn along the way.
Ive had a new WB 8000 Life 40kw system boiler installed on my gravity fed system. The house is a long bungalow with roof rooms which had no heating so I asked my plumber to put a couple of T gate valves on the flow and return just after the pump and motorised valve (which sit at the same height as the upstairs floor) to allow me to run pipe (aprox 12 meters each way) for 3 rads. Im doing it in plastic, have fitted the rads and bought all the supplies (which I cannot return) to do 22mm flow and return with 15mm to the rads. Unfortunately I've now just noticed the T gate valves the plumber fitted are reducing from 22mm down to 15mm. Will this cause any potential problems as I cant return the supplies, so plan on going ahead as before but just going back up to 22mm from the gate valves. Or should I drain down and have the gate valves replaced to 22mm equal Ts, which is more work and expense? Thanks for any advice.
