    1 rad has no water and no heat

    OK, thanks for all the replies. I revisited the work and found that the feed and return for the rad he reloacted actually continued on round the top floor of the house and onto the bathroom. I found that blowing in the rad in the bathroom push some air out of the cut pipe, giving me the...

    1 rad has no water and no heat

    Hi, new to this forum. Wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I have a problem with one radiator that does not get any flow to it or any heat, it is on the 2nd floor of my two storey house. It is a towel radiator in my bathroom. There is only one other radiator on the second floor and this...
