Help needed! Central heating question

[Jack Lawless]

Fair enough, - that's okay & would work fine if the pipes had good flow. Looks like you have to get those pipes joined to the bigger pipes somewhere.

Will be a fairly easy job getting these pipes to the main 22's in the boiler cupboard as its only about 2m away and the joists run parallel. just out of curiosity, would a 6m head pump as opposed to a 5m head pump make any differance?

If it doesn't work with a 5m pump on pipe drops, then 6m pump probably won't make a lot of difference. Should be 6m imo though

Thanks Best, its a wsp Gold pump, which i believe is a 5m pump, i think they had the Gold star which was the 6m version. When i get the radiator working would it be advisable to put a 6m pump on at all?

Not advisable to say that. Everyone has been helpful so far to your mistake.
After all, it is free advice & people's time.

10mm pipes connected to 15mm & then tees off that 15mm to another rad (your towel rail) - just means 10mm is doing everything & it won't work. 10mm only usually does one rad & with short runs.
6m pump will be better, but really only for it if it were piped reasonably

Asked if you are charging for this work ? I feel sorry for your client if you are, this is my opinion which I am entitled to, it is an open public forum after all. Think you need to get a professional in, you IMO don't know what you are doing.

forget upsizing the pump, it may have a slight effect but why bodge and bodge? Tee into the main run with 15mm pipe and run to the upstairs TR, and then drop to the downstairs TR. Rebalance the system and then apologise for the inconvenience
