radiator

Hi All, I appreciate there are numerous similar posts but I'm look for clarification to judge whether I should try to replace radiator or have a plumber come out. I have an Ideal Logic Heat 12 boiler and Tribune HE cylinder, circuit for hot water and 2 circuits for heating as I understand it...

Hi, I’ve ordered a new radiator and the lower connections where the pipes would normally connect are sealed up in a way that looks welded. The product photo online clearly shows the radiator connected to pipes at the bottom but I can’t see how this radiator could be used without being connected...

Good afternoon all, I am soon to have a new combi boiler fitted to provide central heating and hot water (currently just have an old hot water boiler). I am in the process of fitting my central heating system pipe work, and I am hoping for some advice. I have drawn up a picture below of what...

Hi all, recently replaced all of our normal trvs to smart trvs, except one radiator to allow it to always flow if the others shut off. I am experiencing an issue on all radiators when one of the TRVs hits temp and closes the valve, there is a tapping noise on the exit pipe of that specific...

I took a couple of radiators off last week to redecorate. One has gone back on fine but the other I am having trouble with on the non-thermostat side. I'm not sure if the radiator has just been rehung at a very slight angle and the pipe is coming at it at not quite 90 degrees or if, as it seems...

Hello, I recently bought a flat and am currently very early into my DIY journey, so apologies in advance for my limited understanding. I noticed one of the radiators does not heat up, so I had a look online for common issues and decided to see if the pin in the TRV valve was stuck. Got myself...

Hi everybody, I want to hang a fairly heavy (45kg) radiator onto my new build house wall. The wall is the grey thermal blocks covered with dot and dab plasterboard and I think its about 40mm of dot/dab before you hit the blocks behind. Obvs with water the radiator will be a bit heavier as...

Hi all, We found out a red little puddle under the radiator and I found the source. The radiator has been bleed so no air in it. 09 is a picture from the bottom of the radiator,14 is where the leak is coming from, the top of the radiator and 30 is to give a little bit more of context where it's...

My ensuite bathroom has 2 external double brick walls and a large window. Naturally, in the winter, it's the coldest room in the flat by around 5 degrees, and very humid. It's also the only room with a single radiator, everywhere else it's a double. I can manage the heating of the entire flat...

Hi, apologies if this is a daft question, but the valve on one of my radiators doesn't seem to be working. The dial turns fine, but turning it doesn't turn the temperature of the radiator down. I've tested it by touching the radiator, then turning the dial and waiting an hour before touching...

My Vailliant boiler (EcoTEC plus 937) which has a nest thermostat attached id not turning off the central heating!? We have turned off the Nest thermostat but the boiler continues to heat the radiators?

Moved into a house in April. Removed a radiator in bedroom when renovating. The plumber capped the pipes. After that our builder filled the whole in the ground with cement and then new wooden floors were laid. A month later (when the radiators were off) the remaining radiator with making a small...

Our house has a heating system identical to the one pictured. System boiler with unvented HW cylinder, upstairs radiators (12 of them) and about 100 square meters of UFH. All separated by individual 2 port valves. We've recently been renovating the far end of the house (and far end of the...

Hi all 4 story house 8 rads. I drained down our radiator system yesterday to clean the heat exchanger. I drained the system using the drain valve on one of the bottom radiators. I topped the system up, bled all the radiators from top floor down. All the radiators work fine with the exception of...

I recently installed a new radiator in the upstairs bathroom to replace a beastly radiator. During the installation process, I drained and filled the system three or four times during the installation process. (The water color was typically darker but flowed.) The new radiator is working great...

Hello all, I've just had a new radiator installed and it comes on with the heating as expected but then also came on when the hot water came on without the heating. Ours is a system boiler worcester greenstar 30cdi with an unvented cylinder. The new radiator has been hung in the w/c on the...

Hi all, I moved in to a 90s house recently and want to start doing some decorating etc. The house has microbore piping to the radiators and it is not something that I know anything about really. Through my father in law (who knows much more about plumbing than me) and a bit of googling, I...

Hi all, Apologies in advance if I get any terminology incorrect. I moved into a house about a year ago with a system boiler. I've always lived in houses with a regular/conventional boiler system so I'm still getting my head around how a system boiler works. I'm looking at doing some...

Hi Radiator in utility is missing part of the TRV, the radiator used to get hot but no longer does-I can remember one being on there so it might of got damaged when we had our boiler and system changed to a combi, perhaps plumber locked off lock shield valve and then as turning TRV it broke off...

Hi all, I need to replace a 3/4" union valve lockshield with a 1/2" on a bathroom heat leak radiator. Usually I bung the header tank, release pressure, and quickly swap the valves over. However, as its an old school heat leak setup I'm unsure if I need to adopt a different approach due to the...
