I've exercised the pin on the TRV, even put a different head on the TRV just in case the head was faulty. As for the Lock Shield, the spigot does rise and fall as you screw/unscrew it. However, it does leave a tiny amount of brass swarf on the surface each time its done. But I can onlt...

Good Call. I'm currently saving the ackers up for a complete system refit when I hope to be done away with troublesome cylinders by fitting a combi. Meanwhile, I'm going to run the thing into the ground :)

Valves BOE. The Y'fitting is copper. Don't know if the TRV is Single Pipe Specific. The return pipe from the Lock Shield (back to the single pipe run) is cold, as is the area of the rad next ot the lock shield. Lock Shield is fully open. TRV is set to MAX

Many thanks for the responses. Here we go. tboe or boe? sorry confused by this one. The pin has been fully exercised (head off and manually exercised) The pipe size on the run is 15mm, red hot, and tee'd off into the rad 15mm (I know not conventional). TRV open MAX, lock shield Fully...

Further to my previous tale from the River Bank //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18782&highlight=A I opted for a professional power flush and am now living in Central Heating and Hot water Paradise .... almost. However, there has always been one particular Double Panel...

No ..

Thanks for that Kevplumb. I'm now under the opinion that this is a job for the professional plumber. BUt, I'm also very weary of being sold a Chocolate Fire Guard because I'm being given so many conflicting points of view. I've read Primatic system block / loop the F&E pipes in the header...

Its not looking good folks. In fact its looking Decidedly expensive. Been advised by BG that system (Primatic) can be flushed for an extortionate fee. Advised by local plumbers with Power flushing Experience its a none starter. New System total rip out. Can anyone provide a definitive...

Keep it coming, keep it coming ........... Now I've seen several diagrams of one pipe systems. Some showing a Radiators spurred off a single pipe run using tee peices, others showing radiators forming part of a continuos circuit (pipe in one end, out the other to the next radiator). Yes...

Thanks for the feedback guys. My plan of attack was to drain the system, remove each Rad (10 Rads Total) and flush. Once all reconnected power flush and treat the system. Ref my first post, am I still safe blocking (or looping) the F&E pipes?? that noise I heard made me very edgy!! Also...

Please bear with me I'm going to try and give as much detail. Covered by British Gas who appeared and disappeared saying the the problem was due to blockage therefore not covered, quoted a silly price for a system flush (10 Rads) and then quoted the Earth and the Stars for installing a New Two...
