Is it acceptable to fit a radiator at the highest point of a CH system instead of an automatice air valve (AAV)?
The radiator will have an Aladdin HV30C Auto Air Vent Radiator Bleeder fitted. The Aladdin valves last around 3 years before the cartridge needs replacing and it would be more visible than hiding an AAV in the loft.
The landing radiator at the top of the stairs would be at the highes point. All the other radiators in the house are at ground level and are fed by inverted pipe runs between the ceiling joists.
This would also mean I do not have to run a pipe up the landing wall and I get the benefit of a landing radiator. Is this acceptable and would it still prevent any air locks in the high point, allowing any potential air to automatically escape?[/wiki]
