  • Central Heating question. Our house has a combi boiler with 2 fat pipes that go to a T junction then a manifold one for downstairs and one upstairs. That manifold has ins and outs for each radiator, pretty sure that makes it a single pipe loop system https://www.bestheating.com/info/the-ultimate-guide-to-heating-pipework/.
    My bro in law is convinced we should update it to a flow and return system because it'll be more efficient. I think we should just chase all the pipes and insulate them with lagging. We're changing the radiators to some bigger ones and will update the boiler at some point in the future too. Has anyone got any input on whether this single pipe loop system will be a problem?

  • Never seen a one pipe system in anthing but 15mm tbh. Id hazard a guess that you already have a F and R but i will say that manifold will be from the 70s or 80s. Its ancient and a repipe wouldnt hurt the cause but you'll probs die a shock when you get a price for renewing it all.
