New towel radiator fitting

[Leighton]

Can i break into the 22mm main flow and return to fit an additional radiator (towel Rad) in a bathroom using 22mm to 15mm quick-fit tee's. It's quite close to the combi boiler and would be the first radiator being used ?

How close? And when you say quick fit do you mean plastic?

It's about 5ft ( pipe length ) away in the bedroom next door and the new rad is in the bathroom. The new fitting will be plastic as it's quicker and easier

Normally manufacturers don't like plastic within 1.8 metres of the boiler. But then I deal in oil boilers and it may be different on the gas. Check with manufacturers on suitability.

Oh and welcome to the forum

Thanks for the welcome, the two 22mm copper pipes run very near the new towel radiator under the bathroom floor (upstairs) but I cannot see other 15mm radiator pipes without lifting the floor in other rooms, which will be a knightmare.
