I've tried both, yes, albeit not to any great extent

Right, still no luck. Isolated radiator and eventually it got fairly warm at the bottom, lukewarm at the top, and stone cold in the towel rail. It's bled. The water coming out of the bleed valve is cold. The bleed valve is located on the underside at the top right, just on the wall side of...

Will do. I doubt it's balancing, as I spent a good amount of time last weekend balancing the whole system. Never say never, mind. Still, I'm fairly sure it's an airlock as the rail remains absolutely stone cold whereas the rad section does get warm.

We've one of these Reina Camden radiators with towel rail in a bathroom. I've noticed recently that the rail itself isn't getting hot, despite having bled it. The radiator bit does get warm (could be hotter though) but the rail remains stone cold. The bleed valve is located at the top right...

Ours is 1" different from one end to the other of the bath (1.7m). Seems like a lot to me, especially for a 6yr old house. :lol:

Cheers steady. vv - Could do but I'm going to see how it goes with steady's suggestion.

Cheers swb. Apologies to steady. I thought the tap was also 22mm for some reason. Just another area where we've ended up with a mix of imperial and metric. What's the benefit of adding the isolator valves? And does it really matter that the pipes to the bath are 15mm?

How does a 15mm x 3/4" flexi connect a 15mm pipe to a 22mm tap fitting? Forgive me if this sounds stupid but I've never plumbed before. To my simplistic brain 3/4" to 15mm does not go. It's nothing to do with skill, just a shortage of knowledge;)

Yeah, think I'd rather do that than cut the panel. Which means I still need to extend the pipes. I've tried looking for tap reducers, can you get them? i.e. convert a 22mm tap end down to a 15mm tap end?

:oops: :lol: Guess I have no choice but to cut the panel :( edit: unless I can get a white uPVC bit of plastic to fill the gap left at the other end.

Needs to be 22m at the tap connector and 15mm at the pipe, unless I'm reading those suggestions posted above wrong? Can't cut the panel, would look a right mess as it folds under at the bottom. I'm only raising the tap end of the bath.

Hi all, been reading here a while but sadly now need to ask some advice. I've been fitting a new bath and taps, all seemingly going well. However the panels won't fit under one end (floor appears to be un-level in our 6yr old house!). So having removed the old shower screen frame (a trial...
