Even better :) goes to show, you guys know your stuff :) I'd been buying a new Radiator, to find it just did the same as this current one :) Thanks everyone.

That dosent sound just as bad, would part of the bedrom floor need lifted too in that area?

No, wodden floors upstairs but the bathroom has a new vinyl floor just fitted too and I'd perfer not to lift it, can the work be done from the bedroom side and take off a section of plasterboard on that same parting wall to get at the pipes?

My pipes are coming through the stud wall into the rad, all pipes are hidden. Bathroom wall is tiled but the stud wall that the bathrom rad is on,is also our bedroom wall.

There you are... Is that still possible now its installed, without any wercking? So even if i did get a new rad, it wouldn't have made any difference.

Yes, just there now, looking at the rad, the right hand side pipe warmed up first.

Oh, your prob right, I wouldn't have known, thanks. I'm going to turn a few rads off up stairs to see if this new Rad in the upstairs bathroom warms up more, with door closed. Thanks.

If I had known that :( Thanks.

OK I see, thanks.

OK, what do you mean by..... don't touch their lockshield valve ? Im busy at the mo but I will see what pipe warms up first from cold a bit later. Thanks all.

yes, its hot but the older rads in the house would be hotter to the touch, thats what made me think its not just as hot to touch, because its aluminium.

OK, I will try that, the new rad heats up OK but it dosen't warm the bathroom up as much as the old rad I first had in. I was thinking its because this new one is Aluminium.

Thanks, I was just wondering about that.

I'm not sure what the plumber did, I wasnt there at the time. When the rad is off and I then turn on the heat to it, can I tell when the pipes warm up what one is flow and return?

Sorry, I dont know.

No, I dont have the instructions. Is there any way of telling? I see this on another site. https://www.phoenix-uk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/RA225-RA226-RA227-Eon-Double.pdf

Thanks, aye it is..... well as far as i know, Ive use the same plumber for years and his work is always perfect, How can I tell if it is fitted wrong? Thanks The Rad is hot enough, even very warm to touch.

Hi all, I pulled out the old and fitted all new in my bathroom earlier this year. I got a new rad too and reading from my invoce, I have an Eon 1800 x 375 Double Vertical Radiator fitted and its useless, very little heat from it and BTW, it wasn't that heavy either, its Aluminium as far as i...

Thats what I'd do and you might want to drill a pilot hole or two in that joist and add screw fixings to it, watch the joist dosent split on you. Hope that helps :)

Well if it lasted this long :) its not the way it should be supported, don't know if it would work but what about cleaning away the paint from the newel and glue and screw a bit of timber to it, pushed it tight under the trimmer, it would add extra support, only a thought.
