Balancing radiators

[fattony]

hi

I've read the sticky on balancing radiators, am I correct in saying it doesn't matter which radiator you balance first you just balancing the temperature difference between the flow and return?

Is there a link to the thermometer I should use?

Thanks

I would recommend balancing the rads closest to the heat source first.
If you want to measure temperature differential, ideally you want a two clamp on thermometer but you could use two clip on ones and reference the temp drop between them.

Thanks, I've made an attempt, not exactly a scientific way but found the upstairs radiators open fully which may be why one on the radiators was lukewarm.

Each radiator is now getting hot, exactly the same temperature maybe not but a couple you can hear the water passing through, have I restricted these too much?

Thanks
