Radiator air

[MickyP10]

Does it stay in the same radiator, or does it get sloshed around the system with the pumped water?

I'm umming and ahing about replacing an automatic vent with a manual, but if i can bleed either side if need be on other rads, I won't bother. I've tried in the past but water's passing through the valves, so potentially it can make a mess on her Ladyship's new-ish carpet.

Air in the water will get circulated, but once the air and water separate it tends to stay at the high points of a system.

Towel rails tend to the most popular rad for retaining air in the system, they tend to be @ the highest point in most heating systems, especially with an upstairs bathroom or in an attic if that's been converted and becomes the highest point.

Make sure the inhibitor is up to strength, then when you've released all the air (or more likely hydrogen), you won't need to do it again
