no heat in new room

Member Posts: 2
recently I added a new bathroom to my house and I installed hot water baseboard heat. The heating system is a single line diverter system. what I did was I tapped off another baseboard looping them both together when I bleed the line I get heat for a short time. I think the run is to long I was wondering is there somekind of circulator that I can install for this to work.

Click on heating Q&A on the left and then diverter tee heating. What you did won't work since the resistance is now too high. You may be able to repipe both of the rads in question in the basement as series loops with the main and get a bigger pump. Or just buy a little, lowest head you can get, pump for the new bath zone and make it a primary secondary sort of thing with the pump starting with the boiler pump, be sure to put a throttle valve downstream of the pump. Good luck0
