    I wish to add an extra radiator in a lounge. Would it be ok extending from an existing radiator fed with 10mm plastic pipe, distance is about 6-8 metres to new radiator OR would it be better adding my T back from the 22mm pipe underneath the floorboard and run some 10mm or 15mm to the new radiator?
    radiators are fairly big, adding same again:

    T into 22m pipe and run 15m pipe to rad. if you extend 10m pipe from existing rad to your new rad it will not get hot.the water will just circulate through 1st rad

    As above, the 10mm won't cope with 2 radiators.
