Over load the radiator pipes

Posted by Barry on December 10, 2002 at 17:43:38:
A friend has a standard two pipe vented heating system installed in a four bed two storey house in the 60's. It has been extended in a bad way and there are now radiators off radiators off radiators all off 15mm pipes. Thus the last few radiators bairly get warm. I realise that the best option would be to re-pipe with some 22mm ring, but that isnt an option at the moment. I was wondering about tying a "bodge" of putting another pump half way around the system to give it a boost. i ca see that the two pipes might conflict. Anyone got any thoughts or suggestions ? Thanks BARRY
