its true the more bends/elbows will cause more resistance in the pipe run... but i wouldn;t of thought that small detour would cause the rads to slow down.
It could be the system needs balanceing, a slow pump, undersized boiler.

Hello Hinton,
You said earlier mate that the way he has done this shouldn't cause the rads to heat up slowly upstairs, bearing in mind he has done 4 bedrooms upstairs like this would that still be the case. If it isn't the reason they are slow to heat what do you reckon it is  I hate to think what is hidden that we can't see, that is probably where the problem lies  glad I'm just a painter. Mind you he prob was as well   |

He's good at pipe bending though |
He's shite at pipe bending a good plumber would have done it without the elbows and taken it over the top of the socket not destroying the skirting |
FFS... it could airlock!

FFS then drill a hole in the top and create a water feature to go with the rest of the abortion he created r
Joking apart i agree with your earlier post it would have looked better if they were run on top of the skirting all the way

This was a "proper" plumber not a Diyer. He didnt offer the client the choice of moving the socket. She wondered why the rads upstairs took ages to heat up  Four bedrooms and all were done like this |

Just seen a gas pipe run through a socket , not around it, through it. I'll upload a picture once I figure out how.
