    No air, just water comes out. not sure on piping size but looks standard, 12mm? The system was balanced by two different engineers at different times. Most rads, if not all were set to about 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

    Painting stainless steel cooker hood

    I’ll be removing the top part which easily screws away. Not sure how easily I can remove the actual hood. Most paints I’ve seen are Matt black rather than gloss. Just not sure how the matt finish will look.

    Painting ikea oak kitchen

    what colour were your cabinets prior to painting? I keep hearing that I should use a shellac based primer as I have oak / veneer oak cabinets. Otherwise was also going to use zinsser 123.

    Vertical radiator loosing heat

    but the rad was turning on with the chw. If the rad was piped with the dhw, then the rad would start to get warm when someone would turn on the hot water?

    Vertical radiator loosing heat

    Turn the cold feed off to the boiler and try bleeding or draining the rad. If nothing comes out someone’s got egg on their face lol! Sorry, but what will this prove? Since the pump settings were saved, the rads been stone cold. Doesn’t even get warm anymore.
