Yeah I would imagine it's a bypass and I thought maybe a sticky diverter on the water side but then why wouldnt the rest of the rads heat up? It's a little tricky reallocating the bypass elsewhere as there really isn't anywhere that suitable or with easy access for pipework. I would have...

Any problems with isolating the dining room radiator in the winter, but leaving the hallway one on still permanently? Hallway rad only heats up with water in the morning and later in the afternoon (2 x 1 hour's). It does heat up also with the heating as normal.

No they heat up with heating aswell :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Yeah sounds about right. The previous owner got the central heating installed to sell the house. So assuming it wasn't the best of installs! Not really ideal that happens to be honest, but could I not isolate the kitchen rad in summer months as the hallway valves would be open permanently?

It comes on with the hot water as well! I have no idea why it was plumbed that way!

Cheers for coming back to me, yeah pipe run will be minimal as possible. Maybe 1.5m to each valve. Does it matter that that it will be supplying the new rad before running to the hallway rad which which has no TRV and it comes on with the hot water aswell? Presume it's the rad that always needs...

I have this run of pipework in our kitchen that we are renovating. It sits in completely the wrong place but we want to utilise it to feed a large 1400 x 600 double rad. At the moment the pipework comes down from the ceiling goes through the brick wall and into lounge the out the lounge into...

It has inlet and outlet on it. I put the trv on the inlet, assuming that's correct? It heats up fully just a bit patchy in places and not as hot as I would like

F&e was pretty clean as only drained recently. Didn't manually latch valves no.

That's a great shout. Not sure I need to do that now. Presumably that pushes air out the system?

Yeah I think you are right. Tall rad was spitting yellow water at me. Guessing its got some chemical colouring from manufacturing. Getting a steady stream of bleed now.

That makes sense, I bled the system from bottom to first floor. All rads. Did not bleed the hot water cylinder in fairness, but I have now just turned the manual air vent until water came out. Prior to this the boiler seems to be running now. Only thing I did was close up the outlet valves and...

Hi, I just fitted a modern tall radiator to my system in place of a standard double. I have refilled the system (f&e) and the boiler (modern baxi system boiler) starts up then turns off by itself after a couple mins of running. Any ideas??

Oh yes definitely, was planning to tape them up before burying them. or could just use the same conduit

Is that just because the T is very close to the stud? Good idea though, but not sure it's going to be easy fitting the stubs back through the hole with the pipe going through the wall soldered aswell?

Yes will hoover up shavings, very flammable! Good idea with the spray bottle. Will use that. Just hope it all dont leak. Starting to think that push fit would have been easier! lol

Any ideas fellas?

Been a while since I have been able to get this ready as needed to plaster the wall the other side, which also needed tons of bonding to get it Plumb! Is the below OK, only concerns I have is t is right next to the stud in the middle, pipes will have a bit of foam or something to seperate...

Fair point actually didn't think of that

Because I have stupidly already soldered one end. :D
