Good morning,
I removed an old radiator whilst refurbing my daughters bedroom, I used push fit (JG) to relocated the rad then fitted a brand new type 21 radiator from Screwfix. (A job I have done quite a few times in different rooms) when I put the heating on the radiator took an age to get hot and when it did, it seemed to get hot from the top.
The pipes and where the valve connects to the rad were boiling hot within secs but the heat just didn't get through the rad for a a good 5 minutes. When it eventfully heated up I'm sure the top was hotter than the bottom.
My set up is a combi boiler and I had bled all the radiators. Pressure was approx 1.3 bar.
Have I missed something obvious?
King regards
