radiator

Hello, My Vailliant boiler was showing F.27 (incorrect sensing of flames). I opened the panel and replaced the 2A fuse. After that the boiler stopped responding. Status code now is S.O (Heating issue, no heat demand). Does not respond to opening hot water tap or turning on the radiator...

Hello One radiator in my house is always hot even when the TRV is turned to 0. If you turn it to 5 it is boiling. When the central heating is off then this radiator is cold. The rest of the radiators works as expected, i.e. if you turn the TRV to 0 it becomes cold. I've taken the TRV off and...

Hi, I'm trying to isolate my radiator in order to change a leaking bleed valve. The lockshield valve on the radiator is just spinning and spinning and not shutting off the water. In the photo below, it's the spindle that I have been trying to turn. Is there anything I can do other than...

Hi all. I am wanting to swap out some old radiator valves for some new TRV ones. I currently have the radiator off the wall, and the current valves closed off. I just want to run through the steps that I need to take in order to be able to remove the old valves, put on the new ones, and hook...

Regarding: Clean sealed central heating system, powerflushed and inhibitor added a few years ago and system water still remains clear as tap water. Question: After cleanly installing a few brand new radiators with no flux, in reality is cleaner really required before fully flushing the system...

Hello, We are renovating a lower ground flat in a Victorian mansion block (but inside was completely rebuilt in 1989). In the open plan kitchen/dining/living space my architect has suggested putting down foil, then a layer of wet UFH, Omnie Lowboard 15 straight on top of the concrete slab...

Hi all, I wondered if anyone can help me. I recently bought a house which has a radiator in the conservatory. It's an old style conservatory so the temperature drops quickly. I have sectioned off the kitchen (as doors were removed) using a heavy curtain. The kitchen now retains heat...

Hi all I'm looking to upgrade some regular old radiators ( 7 in total). The replacements are larger modern radiators. Two would be approximately 1600mm long by 600mm wide to hang on the wall. I've attached an image of old white radiator style and new radiator style (Grey) to give you idea of...

I've got a problem towel rail in the house and I've been scratching my head what the problem might be. The towel rail only gets luke warm at best and there are no colder or warmer patches on the rail itself. All of the other radiators in the house are roasting. I've checked for an air lock by...

Moved into a flat with a Powermax 155x boiler. Have the hot water on at set times and the central heating off. The radiators are getting warm (not boiling hot) still when the hot water is on only. Just wondering why this would be, and also is this costing us more money as we are...

Hi all, As the title says, my bathroom radiator makes a ticking noise when hot water is running, however makes no noise at all when the heating is running. I’ve bled it in the hope that would help but no joy. Other than this it works fine, just don’t know what it could be or if I should worry...

I've got an existing Single radiator in a reasonably large bedroom that is 740mm wide and 620mm high. It doesn't really put out enough heat and is on an external wall. It has a TRV right side and normal valve left. Pipe centres are 820mm. I want to replace it with a double and plan to reuse...

Hi, I have a 06 plate vauxhall zafira 1.6 club. It's done 98k miles. I haven't had it long but the coolant is like grey sludge (which I know is a blown head gasket as oil is getting into the water). But before I bought it, the car had been sitting for a good 6 months. So I cleaned the coolant...

Hi I have a Potterton Profile 50e supplying hot water to a copper tank. There is a pump off the cylynder for the central heating system controlled by a room stat. There are no diverter valves (single or 3 way) anywhere in the system. My bathroom was re-plumbed 2 years ago and a standard single...

This is maybe related to another problem I posted about a few days ago, but a new problem has now come up As mentioned, by mistake shut down water supply into house, was off a few hours and realised only when all taps went dry. Got system running again, switched on taps starting from highest one...

I would like help with the house radiators please. * Vibration noise My radiator (I live in a shared property so am only aware of my own) has been making a low level constant noise that wakes me up and disturbs me during the day, even if I am watching TV. I hear that valves letting the water in...

Hi I've bought a Smiths HL1000 fan assisted radiator to fit into the kitchen. The combi boiler is also in the kitchen and the 22mm flow and return pipes are right there to tee off. The radiator has 15mm stub pipes in & out. It's like a plinth heater but goes up high on the wall. There's two...

I have a Danfoss thermostat which is normally set to 19 degrees. When the temperature of the room has been reached the hearing used to turn off automatically. Recently it has just been getting hotter and hotter. I have tried to turn the heating off via the thermostat but the radiators just keep...
