It’s been a few years since I last posted, I hope all the helpful advice is still available
Following a house move a now have TBOE radiators. The house is a 1990’s build with an 18 month old boiler. It looks like the inlet pipe to most radiators has been extended at some point for a top inlet.
The problem is the radiators don’t heat up evenly. The top gets hot quickly but the bottom stays cold- the picture is of one and tries to explain.
Is this caused by:
1) too high/ low flow of water
2) sludge
3) some other internal flow restriction- I’ve read about rubber bungs
4) something else....
I am about to replace one so will have the system drained down. Any advice would be great.
