Do Finn radiators heat up using Microbore plastic pipes?
Microbore systems, typically using 8mm or 10mm plastic pipes, are a smaller diameter pipe compared to the traditional 15mm or 22mm copper pipework. Microbore systems have lower flow rates, considered to be a more energy efficient heating system. The Fin Radiators have been tested and work perfectly with Microbore boiler systems.
What are the wall to pipe centres?
For both wall and floor mounted installations the wall to pipe centres are 90mm.
