Piework alteration (Automatic By Pass valve required) + 1 TRV needed (Essex, Harlow)

[jc_150]

I have a 6 radiator Y plan system with pump over run. There are 5 TRV's on the rads and the living room radiator is open at all times. I have now put Hive thermostatic rad valves on all the radiators with TRV's. It works ok, but there is an annoyance because if for example the bathroom radiator calls for heat, the boiler will only fire if the room where the thermostat is (the living room) is at a temperature lower than the boost temperature. This means by default the bathroom and the living room heat until the requirement is met. I was wondering if it is feasible to have fitted a bypass valve of some sort so that when pump over run is on there is somewhere for the water to circulate so that I can then have a TRV fitted to the living room radiator to make the system totally automatic. It was suggested that having a towel rail fitted may be a better idea. (leave it to your decision what is the best way to forward). I would like a quote for this work, including any inhibitor that may need to be added if the system is re filled.

Thanks

John

What boiler do you have? It may already have an internal bypass?
