Can you mix Microbore and 15mm?
Yes. What’s the distance out of intrested.
Can you add radiator to a Microbore system?
Yes, that is correct, but you cannot “T” off a microbore pipe as it only has the capacity to run one radiator. You need to find the 15 or 22mm feed pipes.
What size is Microbore central heating pipe?
Unlike the 22 mm or 15 mm pipes, the microbore central heating system uses pipes with a diameter of 8 mm or 10 mm only. The supply and return of water to the manifolds from the boiler takes place through standard pipework. This microbore pipe runs to each radiator from the manifolds allowing even heating of the water.
Is Microbore any good?
Microbore is good as long as system is keeped in good order in regards to inhibitors,may be worth fitting a magnaclean filter on the system which you can clean out yourself on a regular basis.
What diameter is Microbore pipe?
15 mm is the most popular size, larger sizes (22 mm and 28 mm) are used for baths, storage tanks and boilers / central heating. Smaller sizes of pipe (10 mm and less) are often referred to as “microbore”.
Can you connect one radiator to another?
If you want to add in a radiator to your central heating system, it’s easy enough to do. You can add a radiator at any point in the flow and return circuit, but you must make sure you don’t take heat away from the current radiators.
Is Microbore still used?
In modern construction microbore is once again becoming popular – but this time using plastic pipes. The pipework which circulates the water to the radiators is divided into two sections: Flow and return from the boiler to a manifold (using, say, 22mm pipes (right)).
Are Microbore pipes bad?
Anyway – microbore is not a bad thing. If it has been in place for years it may well be a bit blocked up if it hasn’t been maintained withi inhibiters and the likes. Larger bore is to a degree more maintenance free. If it aint broke don’t fix it.

Does it matter which side of radiator flow and return?
Most modern thermostatic radiator valves are bi-directional – so can be fitted on either the flow or return pipe of your radiator. However, it’s always best practice to fit the TRV on the flow pipe that enters your radiator.
