Wonder if there are any site plumbers out there who'd know the standard arrangement for heating pipework in a mid-nineties Westbury built house.
The heating was powered by an Ideal Classic boiler feeding a thermal store in a 1st floor airing cupboard.
The rads are then fed in micro-bore which emerges from the walls just beneath the rad valves.
My question is would the ground floor pipework be brought down in 22mm & split off a ground floor manifold or dropped to each rad under the dry lining from above ?
Ground floor is chipboard laid over polystyrene insulation which is laid over concrete
The house has recently been converted to a combi system & is dropped pressure, albeit slowly & no leaks showing anywhere & I am trying to establish how it is piped up before I start taking the house apart. Thanks.
