radiator

Hi, I need to replace a 600 x 900 K2 double panel double convector radiator and the missus wants a traditional looking column radiator. I can't find anything with those dimensions. Any suggestions?

As part of our house renovation we had some pipes that went into our dining room through to our downstairs toilet/bathroom removed and rerouted. As part of that work the radiator in the dining room was disconnected as the piping was going all over the place Now we want to have the radiator...

Hi everyone, I have this very weird problem with the apartment I just rented in Geneva, Switzerland. Very old building. Because of the heating that goes in the radiator, the pipe that goes from the wall to the radiator dilates and makes this terrible noise, every 1-2 seconds, especially...

Does one in the land of the free not know about water valves? :D:rolleyes: Skip to 6:00 for the fix!

Planning an orangery extension to our house. Originally thought, underfloor heating and radiator to keep it warm.. But now not sure as I have been reading things.

I would have got a 21 or 22 if anyone made the pressed steel type with legs but they don't seem to exist. There are options for adding legs to column types, are they ok?

Does anyone have a link to a radiator sizing calculator which they've found to be reliable? I've got a 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.5m bedroom with a small adjoining closet and roughly 2sqm double glazed window which I need a rad for and the calculators I've used come up with vastly different results, ranging...

Hi All, (Apologies, my plumbing skills/terminology need much improvement) I recently found a leak on the joint of a TRV valve coming from one of my radiators, it seemed to be where the pipe enters the valve (see image and imagine the silver pieces of the valve are bone dry). I had someone...

Hi All, I'm not an expert, but am willing to learn and have a go and save money. I've previously installed several radiators on a combi. I've just got a new house a started doing an extension, build it with my brother , our first attempt, so pretty chuffed. The house, after extension will be...

I have a radiator which does does not get as warm as other radiators (there is no air in the radiator). I have opened lockshield valve slightly more and also tried removing the thermostatic valve but it is still only slightly warm. I have noticed the area around the lockshield valve is getting...

Hi there, I've a radiator with very little access on the left, and no access on the right - someone built a giant bookcase round it. It needs bleeding The left would be easier to create access to (narrower bookcase upright, and some space already) Left side radiator1 by StephenStephen posted...

I'm wanting to install a new vertical radiator where the old one used to be. The distance between the pipe holes in the floor is 840mm! Does that mean I'd need to buy a radiator 750mm wide? I can't find any online. I also want to install a standard compact radiator in the hall, but the pipe...

I need to get a feed to a radiator in my hallway and am looking into the best way to conceal the pipework for it. I'm not a fan of boxing it in if possible, and am looking either recessing the pipework in the floor or wall - I'm undertaking substantial renovations currently so the mess isn't an...

An engineer came round and replaced the thermostatic valve on one of the radiators during an annual boiler service. It seems to be a Drayton TRV4. However the valve does not seem to work too well. The radiator seems to be either really hot or completely off, nothing in between. Upon closer...

I live in a two bed mid terrace house and am currently undertaking quite substantial renovation works, and am thinking about scrapping the radiator in my hallway (sits on the party wall). The hallway is quite small - front door opens to doorway to living room and stairs only, and upstairs only...

Hi, I'm planning a small ensuite in the loft room (above existing bathroom). Do I need to add a radiator to the system, or is there an electric towel rail that will do the job? Cheers

Hi Photos show there is no slack on the compression fitting to allow me to get any ptfe tape on. Because it's not possible to move the compression nut back so that it exposes the olive. What can I do?

Does anyone know how to remove/fix this kind of radiator knob? (I have included a photo) I can turn it but the temperature stays on full no matter what. It feels really loose as if I'm literally just spinning a bit of plastic. If I turn it a bit harder, everything above the metal connector bit...

I’ve had many engineers with no luck, please help! I am running a glow worm 30 HXI boiler, approx 3 years old. It is a three zone system - one zone is the underfloor heating consisting of 5 loops (approx. 35sqm room), another zone is the rads consisting of 7 rads (6 have TRV's) and the final...
