Let us know how you get on; we can discuss balancing later. You did remember to note the LS valve positions?!!
- Yes
- Also check that TRV pin can be pressed down and jumps up when released. Opening the LS valve will upset the balance so some rads may not get as hot as others.
- Yes - as a starting point; it can be adjusted later.
- Max is approx 82C; 75C should be all you need.
- Worth checking all three options work.
- Be careful using an IR thermometer on copper pipe as it may under-read by a considerable amount. It's best to wrap the pipe with black insulating tape and hold the thermometer right against the tape.
Thanks
In item 2 the balance is none existant but are you saying to NOT fully open all LSV's - if so what position should they be in?
In item 6 when you mention hold the thermometer right against the tape do you mean the infrared one as that is the only thermometer I have - or should I buy one and if so which type?
I have not commenced the testing yet but will when I get home and will note the LSV positions once you advise what they should be set to for this test.
