Good afternoon,
I am a joiner, attempting plumbing work, what could possibly go wrong!!
Please see my attached picture. Pink is feed, blue is return, purple are the radiators.
We live in a bungalow with timber floors, and access underneath. Boiler is in the centre of the house with 22mm feed and return pipes going under the floor to 8mm microbore manifolds.
Our plan is to extend the 22mm pipe from the front to the back of the house, use hep manifolds and connect hep20 15mm pipework to the radiators. Reason being that we can access easily this area under the floor through a cupboard, and there are dwarf walls either side. I'd like to keep the joints to a minimum should there be any issues we can access it easily.
Another thing I was interested to know was if I screwed pipe clips to the underside of the floor joists, can I run my pipework like that when the pipes are adjacent to the joists. When parallel with the joists I will clip to the side of the joists.
In theory this makes sense to me, but I may well be very wrong so just looking for some advice please. Does the setup look ok?
Thank you in advance,
Gregor
