I have tried the above and the flow has increased significantly from a trickle to actual water. Even though I have drained and refilled the system multiple times I am still getting discoloured water. I have had black bits and black water come out as well as dark and light brown. The light brown...

Thanks for that. I thought the same thing about the bearing and thought that with the top of the bit being squared off that would make the additional indent. I could be wrong but the whiteside one also doesn't give that last additional indent does it? Thanks James

I think I may have found it but I am not quite sure: https://www.trend-uk.com/en/UK/product/92_1X1_2TC/4/93/multimould_cutter.html Thanks James

Brilliant thanks Yeah i now understand what the goal is I just couldn't get my head around it before but the video explained it well. Thanks again I will be doing this on Monday so hopefully it will get sorted. Thanks James

Yes that video helps alot I now get what you mean. I will see what I have in the garage or if I have to pick something up. Thanks James

Ok no worries so I am just pushing it into the system then and flushing the system to get it out I presume? I will give the water a go first since that's what I have already done and then maybe go for the air. If I understand about pumping mostly water fill the system and them pump in air so...

Will do it will be going directly into a bucket to catch everything and covered to prevent splashback.

Thanks so in essence push from the previous radiator towards the problematic one into say a bucket? Or the other way towards the good radiator? Thanks James

Thanks we did try it at 1.5 bar so I may increase it to 3 and have the hose at the ready and get them both on it which should hopefully clear the pipe.

Ok quick update on this. I have drained the system today which turned out a lovely yellow color and have flushed it out twice and everything now runs clear. When comparing the flow and return pressures the return seems fine as it comes out at a good rate however the flow was just dribbling. So...

Brilliant Thanks all for your help with this I defiantly have enough to find what I need and @JobAndKnock they are very similar indeed. Thank you all again for your help. James

Thanks @big-all they do look good pricey though but I guess you get what you pay for anyway. I will keep looking now I know what I am looking for and see if I can find that one or something very similar like you have linked me too. James

That's probably why I cant find it then. At least I know what I am looking for now and I may even ask Trend if they have any kicking around to see if I can get my hands on it or if any other manufacturer has them. Thanks for clearing that up. James

Thanks I did do that however I cant seem to see the one from the video as it doesn't seem to have the second part of the cutter the ones from the page you have suggested only seem to have the ball type cutter at the top but not the additional straight part which is what is throwing me.

Hello, Happy New Year! :) Can anyone identify this bit? My other half really likes it and I cant seem to find it on Trends Website but its in their video. If I know what I am looking for then it would probably narrow this down but I have no idea. All help is appreciated...

Ah right well the wet and dry vac I have has a blower on it so I may try blowing it and sucking it to see if it shifts it. Ah tight so push it with water directly connected to the hose? Thanks James

Yes thanks its a new radiator. I added the cleaner to hopefully clear any blockage. So could I use my wet and dry vac on it to remove anything from the pipe as I will be draining the system soon and flushing it out to remove the cleaner I currently have in there. Thanks James

Thanks so its not the water coming in its the return which would be the lock shield end I presume? Would giving it a hoover out with a wet and dry vac help? Also wouldn't the cleaner in the system I have put in clear this out since its been in for two weeks now? Also just to clear up one...

Hi Wig, I got a kit from Screwfix as well as the inhibitor and the cleaner: Cleaner: https://www.screwfix.com/p/sentinel-x400-system-restorer-1ltr/89458 Inhibitor: https://www.screwfix.com/p/sentinel-x100-central-heating-scale-inhibitor-1ltr/79683 Filling Kit...

Thanks. When I compare to the other radiators both sides are hot. The TRV is new as of a few months old and I have taken this off and the pin moves freely up and down.
