Hi Fred I've never put them on the return if they are on the return what's to stop the heat on the flow going where it wants Evan with one return it only creeps up getting the nearest rad warm you must have linked them somewhere is a new build might have put a downstairs rad in upstairs loop or other way round easy mistake to do

Rob,


I agree, you need to put the barrier on the hottest pipe work which is the flow, hells-bells Fred this is 50 posts now you should be able to fit a heating system yourself, albeit push fit plastic. When your plumber comes around, show him the posts here, there are some little nuggets of information.

Hi Guys,

Just had my heating sorted after a short 4 months wait! just glad we've had a nice summer. Anyway just thought I would update you on what the issues were.

1st no by-pass circuit installed.
2nd zone valves on return instead of flow.
3rd 2 flow pipes fitted (1 to each zone) but only 1 return for both zones.

Pleased to say that the chap today knew what he was doing and has put it all right. Thanks for all your advice, looks like everyone on he was correct in one way or another.

cheers fellas
